So I bought a nice frame but as you can see here a lot of the metal has been removed from these spring pockets. Any ideas about how to make this solid and safe again? I assume I will just have to weld some metal in. I have to get springs first for fitment. But I thought I would ask if anyone has...

So glad I clicked on this. Thank you for posting. Sorry you already sold them. I have a 78 and 80 Malibu and an 85 El Camino so this will be good info to tuck away and I hope this posting stays on here. Sometimes I cannot find them later!

So I bought this frame and it is boxed and notched- really nice frame. But when I turned it to work on it I noticed they hacked up these spring pocket areas. I am thinking I may need to use coilovers- maybe that is why they did this? Or, I could possibly weld some metal in to replace what was...

I just use Allstate. Stated value. As it increases in value I will probably go with Hagerty but no point in spending more than I have to right now. Hagerty seems like the best from what I have previously researched. Depends on the value of the vehicle- mine are not on the road right now, just...

Need opinions on what paint to use on my sway bars and braces. What are others using? Are you happy with what you used?

Bought firewall to core support bars and I could not be happier with them. Thanks so much.

I think the combination of the dash AND the steering wheel is too much, um brightness? Is that the word? But like everyone else here I agree you have to do what YOU like. It is a very unique look, very custom and clean. I have plans for my 80 Bu that probably a lot of people will not approve of...

Here's mine- B&M shifter and seat out of a 79,

Your best bet is to use sheet metal and fabricate this, or look in a junkyard, but this is a common place for rot.

Note to self, save VIN numbers. But seriously, amazing story.

Re: What is this fender piece called and where can I find on HA HA HA! No I am just looking through my old posts for any updates and adding the resolution. Sometimes people wonder how it turned out. I always do. No, I am working on bigger issues now. :rofl:

Re: What is this fender piece called and where can I find on You were right, easier to fabricate than find one. Just had it in my head that it had to be perfect. :blam:
