Anyone have pics of Klassic Fab rear frame rail installation

Featured Replies

I'm going to address issues with my "track" car's frame rails (rear half). The floor of my track car has been bare metal for more than a decade (after I sand blasted it to remove surface rust), and the rear portions of the frame rails are bent/crushed as well as have some places where they rusted a lot.

I think Klassic Fab parts have a good reputation for fitting well, however, I am interested to see how well the rear frame rails fit. I searched here and the wider web, and couldn't find any one who took pics of their efforts to replace the factory ones with KF ones. Anyone have any pics? There is a slight bend in the floor that I don't see in the replacement rails (viewing the pictures of them I can find online).

I am going to take some pictures today of the rails on my car and will share them here a bit later.

So, my concern is that I haven't been able to determine if the Klassic Fab rear frame rails have this little angle bend at about 4 inches before the front edge of the floor panel (see the first two pictures below). The floor panel has a bend in it there. And the frame rail follows the angle - the flanges are not perfectly flat from the rearmost point of the frame rail all the way to the front edge of the floor panel.

Anyway, I'd like to know if the Klassic fab rear rails have this same contour. It isn't the end of the world if they don't but I'd rather same myself the time and effort of modification if possible.

My factory rails are pretty bent up. The damage has pretty much been there since I bought the car in 1993. It will be nice to finally address the floor issues this car has and get some sound insulation and paint on both sides. When this car was operational, it was such a pain to have to wipe down the bottom of it whenever I got caught in the rain!
