I've got one of those in my future, partial. You see in this pic where there's a counter-balance thing on the station wagon gate ('64 Falcon shown)? Well, my '63 Ranchero has that hole, but no spring/strap thing... and that's a hole straight into the end of the frame. Shockingly, this means water in the frame over time.

Probably doing. I'm too broke to pay for labour, and competent enough to probably do the repair myself.

Well, I was going to have to have to modify the rails anyway to fit the Jaguar suspension, and I got some 14GA steel rails that fit just over the subframe for very cheap as part of a giant floorboard purchase of Mustang parts, and didn't end up needing them for the front subframe rails (still intact, galvanized). Plus, I kind of wanted to reinforce back there anyway.

Fix rust - reinforce - use parts I have - redesign... MAX COMBO BONUS
