Noobie with an 82

[82cutty]

Hi all, New user here building an 82 Cutlass. I have a nice 73 too. I just bought an 82 and found it to have a bad frame inthe rear area. :-( Any body in or close to the Va area with a frame for sale? I am looking thru the parts for sale and nothing close that I see yet.

Welcome.
You should check out eBay, there is a seller from CA that always has a few frame rail sections up for bid for like $150. I think his name is rareelco. A bargain if you ask me, I was going to get some for my bomber wagon. Sectioning in some nice clean rails is a lot less work than replacing an entire frame in my opinion...
Hope that helps

I was going to do that, but the right rear has some issues in front of the wheel also. I am trying to convince my buddy to to just that but he doesnt want the responsibility of welding that. So for now I am going the frame route. This way I can replace all my lines and paint everything up pretty.
