Default Who makes a frame rust repair "kit" ?

We have a 69 frame with rust in the rust prone area [where the trailing arms mount] I have heard lately that someone makes a repair kit for this, but have not seen it in Eckers or Corvette America. Anybody help???? :confused:

Corvette Specialties of Michigan (Neil Porter) and Caledonia Classics are the manufacturers of these parts. Chuck

Well, Zip does not have want I need. I need the area where the bolt goes through where you attach the rear trailing arm. I will send a fax to Corvette Specialties. Can't find Caledonia Classics on the net anywhere. :confused:

$400 Ouchy.
I would start digging into it and see if a few pieces of steel plate might not do the trick.

There was a guy in the parts for sale section with the whole back half of a 73 frame for sale. The frame was supposedly mint prior to the accident.
