1968 el Camino Malibu

We only have one concern and that is with the rear cross member, it is a little corroded and will either need to be patched up or preferably replaced if possible.
Kevin do you know if anyone makes or distributes a replacement part for this section of the chassis?
Thanks

Hey Ben,
The chassis looks great! Many times El Caminos are twisted up in back from pulling trailers. We normally just re-create that part of the frame in the metal shop, I am not aware of a pre-made section.

Looking great! The welding looks really good too, not like a beginner! Nice work!

A quick update on my el Camino for you...
The front and rear ends are starting to come together, obviously the chassis is done and under the car again! I'm really happy with how it's coming along now. Lots to do still so will keep you informed. Keep those muscle_car_of_the_week videos coming in Kevin, they are great inspiration for me
