I finally made up on mind on whether to repair my spare (parts car) frame and use it as a replacement, or simply repair the original frame. I decided to go with the latter as I just won't have the time or money for a frame off resto any time soon.
Today I made the drive down to Woodstock to have Conrad replace my rear frame rails. See below for several pics I took during the install - which was long overdue as you will see. Remember, this is a car that hasn't been winter driven (and rarely rain driven) in the past 10+ years minimum that I know for sure (southern guys - close your eyes!):

I am very satisfied with the not only the product but the installation was top notch - you can tell Conrad takes great pride in his work I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone else who may be in the same boat with rotted rails and not having frame replacment as a viable option :yup:
Also, Conrad now has a webpage put together - here's the link he gave me before I left today:
