Question on replacing a front frame rail

I'm getting my driver side front frame rail replaced soon and I hit a minor snag.  Where can I find some replacment bolts?  The ones I referring to I tried to draw an arrow in the picture but it's really hard to see.  The front bolt connects the K frame to the front frame rail.  The second one connects to the lower control arm.  If anyone here can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.  This is probably an idiotic question to you experts but this is my first charger, please be kind.  LOL

Thanks for the replies.  Here are a couple pics of my charger.  It's not much more than a parts car but the metal is solid everywhere except for the drivers side frame rail, the rear window and the tunk floor.  The quarters just need small patch panels.  It's going to take me two or three years to finish but I'm saving this car from the scrapper come hell or high.  The bottom line is that I can't afford to drop 30 to 50 grand for a really nice one.  So, I got a project.  I have a lot to learn but I have a lot of determination.  Wish me luck.

Right on dude, thanks for sharing the pictures! You're right, it does look really solid aside from that rail! Funny how that happens, huh? I hear you about the project. Don't worry, I'm in the same boat!

Thanks buddy.  I've wanted one of these cars ever since I was a kid.  Finally owning one is a dream come true.

I hear that man. I started the dream at around 12, and am one lucky bastard to have come across a great deal on one at 15. (17 now) :2thumbs:

I had a Charger like that back when I was 16. 


Mine was a real 427 Hemi Charger with the side exhausts.  I used to tape a $20 bill the dashboard and nobody could grab it whenever I punched the gas.   



I loved it, but I had to sell it to a guy a year later though.  He still has the car.  I borrow it from him to go cruising once in a while.   

You wouldn't know him though.  He lives in another state.
