I fhave a nasty rust through on the front of the rear frame rail where the front rail and rear rail are joined and overlap, this problem exists identically on both sides of the car. A piece of the rear rail is rusted away where it overlaps the front rail; right above the front leaf spring mount. The front rail behind this rust through is fine, as is the rest of the rear rail aft of the problem. Oddly the rest of the frame, which I inspected with my eyeballs, fingers, and a hammer, appears to be in great condition. Does anyone recognize this damage and know how to repair it, and about how much $.? My main concern is the cost of the repair, I have recently moved and my best buddy who used to do non-profit welding for me is far, far away, so I'll have to have this repair professionally done. I really like this car and I'm willing to invest the cash to keep it on the road.
