Rear frame rails 71-73

[rick55fla]

Hello everyone,,new to the group.
I picked up a 73 convertible that has rusty rear rails. Does anyone make replacements? If I can't find them I plan on doing like a "back-half" on a race car.
The rest of the car is VERY restorable and good shape.
Thanks
Rick

The 64-70 rear rails will, with little modification, do the job. Be careful, rear rails are made by different sources, ranging from suck to good enough for show. Check with someplace like Glazier Nolan, that knows the difference.

Johns Mustang in Houston has every thing for your car and his prices are not to bad.

How would they need to be "modified" ? The rails for the 64-70 are much cheaper than the ones for 71-73.

Thanks
