Hey guys, I am well into a body off restoration on my 80 C3 and have found rust in the steel sub frame section of the body. Does anyone have any ideas on how to repair?

^^^^^ You probably need to start a new thread for this. Also, do an advanced search and select C3 tech forum for your search...Make the topic something like " Frame Rust ".... I think you'll get more info that way.....

This part is usually referred to as the birdcage, that may help your search.
