    Frame Rail/strut tower repair kit

    Who all makes the repair kits for rusty shock tower and frame rails? I know about Late Model and Scott Rod, but is that all that makes a nice kit?

    That's the only ones that I know of making them.

    Ive sold some front clips here lately as people say its easier to just replace with used stock parts. Drill out the spot welds and it lines up pretty good.

    I think I'm going to give the scott rod ones a try then. The burgundy coupe needs them.

    They are getting to be common practice now just like the older Mustangs and hot rods. People will start making them and 1 piece floor pans before long. I think every Ohio car needs them if its been on the road much.

    They already do make 1 piece floor pans for them. Pretty reasonable too.

    Ill have to check those out. Ive had a few come in that wasn't bad but needed strut towers and floor pans. Someone probably could've saved them.

    Next one you get, get with me first because I want to start saving as many of these as I can. AMD and LMR have the full floors. They also carry each side.
    Shifting gears, looking at the scott rod kit, does it look like they have the inner and outer part of the rail? I've looked around on you tube and forums and haven't found anyone who has a detailed install. I know I'll do one when I do the coupe. I think I'll do the inner fenders too if possible. Not sure if that'll make the turbo install a pain.
