Default Rusted Frame On A 1969

Folks:

Need a piece of frame replaced. Is there anyone who supplies sections that can be welded on to replace bad spots? The area of the rear kick up where the frame goes up and over the propeller shafts needs to be replaced. This is a driver and I'm looking for an (relatively) inexpensive fix. The body is coming off the frame.

Thanks,

Black60

I believe Paragon Reproductions has the best selection of frame replacement parts. I have used many of them and liked the quality. Pick up one of their catalogs , they show pictures all of their parts and the locations so you know that you are ordering the right parts.

I am of the impression that Vette Products of Lake Orion, MI is the one who manufactures the frame parts. I know they supply complete C-1 frames and pieces from original GM tooling.

Not as much suckage as come Monday, we are slated for another 16" of the white stuff. I might go sit in the corvette and put my blinders on lol I have a section to replace too so I'm interested in this thread.
