I have been woried about the condition of my driver side front frame section in my 70' challenger, since I purchased it. the frame seems to have a foil with some type of grey paste (I am guessing a rust converter) wrapped about almost the entire left frame rail. All other sections are clean and have paint matching the factory color (did they paint the frames?).
I have driven the car, with no problems, but as I work on the car more and more, I become more worried about the condition of the frame rail, In some places the frame rail is nothing more than chunks of rusty metal held together with undercoating (I am not kidding!) and in others it is so thin that I can stick my finger through. I have deadlined the car for now, and I refuse to mess with it untill I figure out what to do.
I am guessing I will need most if not all of a new frame rail, Does anyone know where I can get one that is clean enough to save, or should I just go get one made at the local shop?
Thanks, Gerrad
