foxbody frame rails.

[inferno50]

so i got a good start on the project i removed the fenders, hood and bumper cover along with a bunch of other small junk. Then pulled the motor with the trans attached to it and also dropped the k-member. the rust was bad enough to pull the k-member bolts through the frame, you can see it from the outside shot of the rail on the drivers side. i am replacing both rails with a nice set of used ones and painting the engine bay red to match the car and hiding as much as possible. i know there are a bunch of fox cars that need this done so i figured i would post up and show the progress. and keep track of the hours involved to do it. so far i have six hours in it to get where i am at.http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac301/inferno50/Mustang/714.jpg

Hope the rails go in smoothly for ya. Im sure this will be a great thread considering that most Ohio foxes need them replaced or fixed. Good luck with it.

Beehhh!! I got cold chills lookin at that!

Man that looks familiar!! I cut mine out and replaced them with 2X3 rectangle steel tube. Worked out well. Thanks to Jesse, got it all welded up.

[inferno50]

i have some nice replacments although i have seen other people do the tubing and it looked very nice when done.. i think i will pass on working on it tonight due to the heat.

I have a 66 mustang with way better frame rails than that.

Did you get the motor out the night I was over there?

Very neat thread...I have a coupe that I'm going to have to put a new core support on it and I'm going to post up a thread...it will be the core support and fender aprons...should have more threads like this...good luck

I ran into issues finding time to work on the car but I finally installed the new frame rails and finished welding them up Saturday. Looks good. time to grind the welds aircraft strip the entire engine bay and paint her up. New k member is also on the way from pa racing.pics coming soon.

[Stangman]

Glad you got it all welded up man! It's nice to save em. I've done 2 cars soo far, bout to do a 3rd here soon. Now just get you some Scott Fab inner fender aprons to hide all the ugly holes

[inferno50]

Not reallyy worried about the holes. Just trying to hide all the wires right now

[inferno50]

Are you talking about the fiberglass ones or do you know somone who makes steel. I probably wouldn't want to do glass.

[Stangman]

Scott fab makes them in steel. welds right in.
