Frame rail patch
« on: April 15, 2006 - 08:00:25 PM »
Has anyone used the repair panels that are sold to repair frame rails.  If so do they work?  How do they look?  Does it look like it is rigged or look nice?
Thanks for your help.

here is their web site:  http://autorust.com/catalog.html  See for yourself.   Basically they just strengthen what ever is left by going over the rusted parts. They don't look original, but add alot of metal.  Saw their half and half Challenger at the NATs.   Sometimes removing a frame rail, knocks the whole body out of square, when all the metal is paper thin. So the "CAP" is the best way to go.
