Discovered a little while ago that my Challenger had been in a prang at some point in it's life: Right side, front rail.
The car had a makeover and new paint job around the year 2000, so I'd say the prang that caused this is the reason. Car feels to handle perfectly fine or general driving, and already has some upgraded suspension parts, but I'd really like to get a little more serious in that regard starting with some Hotchkis Upper Control Arms - before I go spending that kind of $ I really need to get the frame repaired to be sure I get the full benefit of the upgrade.
Repro frame rails are available so that is an option, however despite the damage to the frame there appears to be no rust in it, so I'd really like to keep the original intact if possible.
I'd appreciate thoughts from anyone that has been in a similar position. Should I repair or replace? Plus's pr minus's to either coarse of action?
Cheers
