mustang rear frame rail repair

[@enchantedundergroundorphanedgu]

I replaced my 1969 Rustang rear frame patch links left and right from CXJ Pony Parts which are well thought out parts but prior to welding I put a 5/8 x 4 long bolt and nut to lock it in place permanently.

Everything here rusts bad. Good to hear your car is getting some work. 69 is a cool car.

Good stuff:). I think you’ll find this type of content will ultimately appeal to a large very group!

Great idea! Was contemplating giving up on my Foxbody because my rear frame rails are both going, passenger side is worse... My only issue would be how do you keep the factory bumper brackets in the stock location?

[@weekendatbernies4503]

The piece of steel going across the rear would have to be long enough to reach the bumper brackets then weld flat plate the size of the brackets on to the cross piece and bolt the bumper brackets to it

@@weekendatbernies4503 did you do this on yours, or I guess you were more building a track car? That makes sense, mine will be a street car, so il definitely need the stock bumper brakets

[@weekendatbernies4503]

It was a track car I was building for a friend but could have been easily put on the street. I always recommend keeping it on the street even if it’s a coffee or show and shine with friends

@@weekendatbernies4503 awesome! I'm gonna attempt a similar repair as your video, only difference, I'd like to maintain the factory fuel tank. So il have to see if it will fit between the rails...
