How come I see frame rail replacement ad's??. With out back-hafting/roll bar the car using the stock frame rails is there weak spots??. How about notching the frame for tire clearance??. Can you explain that further??.

Just trying to build as light as I can without adding wt back in with welds for a tube frame,roll bar,cutting the floor in a class that doesn't require it and still hook the car with whatever tire is needed.

Yepper-newbie questions on Malibu's.Thanks. :?

G-Bodies in the rust belt are very prone to rusting out from the seam just above the axle back, mud and other junk gets flung up & sticks, and the rails rust out.
