How can I brace the frame rail on my 66'. After years of being jacked on and just abuse, my frame rails are just UGLY. How can I straighten them and strengthen them? I thought about boxing the with some "c" channel. Any ideas?

Do you have sub-frame connectors now?

How are your floor pans? After years of abuse my frame looked pretty rough too. When it came time to replace the floor pans, it was easy to pound out most of the damage from inside the car.

Subframe connectors are recommended to strengthen your chassis.

I have Comp Eng bolt-in sub frames. The factory frame was beat up before I installed them though. Floor pans are fine. Here are the only pics I have. You cant see much of the BAD parts.
