1970 dodge charger chassis rails

[chrisbinks]

Hey all,  im looking at buying a rolling shell charger 1970 theres a possibility that the chassis rail needs replacing, has anyone ever done one and what kind of work is involved?  i know i can buy the part from AMD but just not sure whats involved.

Many thanks

Hi,

I'm sure others will join in but, I'll start the ball rolling. Front or rear frame rails ? And, do you have a MIG welder and know how to use it well?

I'm pretty sure if the frame rails are in trouble you're going to find a lot of other "surprises" as you get into replacing them. I'll leave it to the other second generation owner's here tell you about their experiences.

i do have a mig welder, I'm waiting for surprises as such ,   every owned a land rover you'll know what i mean haha.   but its all i do in my time so welding and such doesn't bother me.    do you know if it spot welded etc kind of what i mean,   i was talking about the rear rails sorry i should of mentioned it.

Mig is the way to go. Whatever you find you'll make
it better than new!
