You can't patch frame?

It would be a lot easier just to patch the frame, most promoters will let you do some sort of repairs if you just call.

69-76 caddy frame rails will work but I agree completely with just patching the rusty rails on it. You don't use the back of a Caddy anyways.

Do you have a picture of the frame maybe or something? I can't imagine the rust is horrible if it's just the one frame rail. Plus like stormi said you don't use the back of caddies so if isn't horrible you might be ok without anything if your rules say no rust.

Yes i agree with not using the back end of a caddy but ive had a 75 caddy frame rail brake in half and its in the same spot were this frame rail is rusted and the 2 holes r pretty good sizes its on the outside of the frame rail and the bottom side its as soon as the frame comes down in the trunk pan from the back of the humps like right under neith the body mount bolt hole and ita gonna b a modified car any ways and some places will let me patch the holes but then that will take away 2 plates that im allowed to put on the front after its preran and the front if it ever noises up just trying to get some ideas and thoughts on whats the best thing to do in my situation
