shock tower rust?

just wondering how hard it is to fix shock tower rust in a fox body mustang? im a beginner but know people that will help. thanks

matter how bad it is really

Diamond Race Cars hooked me up when I needed this job done for a very reasonable price....Give them a shout. they're in Waterville Ohio

Not impossible, but everything is relative. Need to drill spot welds and replace the frame rails or you can just weld up a patch panel.

Late model restoration sells replacement rails: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...yle-Frame-Rail
or you can cut replacement out of a car smashed car.

i did this on two fox bodies before, just need patience.

Anything is possible. Just a matter of time and money. If they are REALLY bad, it may cost more than the car is really worth. I have seen ALL the metal from the firewall forward get replaced.

Go buy a rust free 4 cyl car from down south or out west

thanks for the replies. it looks like the frame rails are pretty good. the rust is above the frame rails thanks.
