Has anyone had there rear frame rails replaced on there car? How much did you pay? The rest of the frame is in great shape. Looking to see what this is going to cost me.

Car is still on the fame. i have a set of rust free frame rails already. Came with the car. But that set in Iowa would come in handy....
About 10 years ago I had a 79 Monte Carlo, with bad rear frame rot. A local shop wanted about $500.00 to replace it, if I supplied the rails. The cost is probably double by now. I couldn't find a good set of rails at the local yards, so I ended up selling the car. If the rest of the car is in good shape, I would definaly try to save it. There less and less g-bodies out there every year.
I do got a buddy that can weild but i wanted a more professional look. Or at least someone who has done it before.
Honestly if your rear rails are rusty I can guarantee you will have other rust issues. I believe its #2 body mount in the right side likes to collect water right below the heater box. I found this out when i removed my frame to have it painted. You may be better off just removing the body and investigate it further if you plan on keeping the car.
