Hi, all! This is my first post here. I purchased a 1976 Dodge Dart about a month ago, with the hope of fixing it up and more or less dailying it. This is my first foray into the automotive world, so I'm still pretty new to all of this. Thought this would be a good way to learn!

Of the couple concerns that I have with the car at the moment, my biggest is the front frame rails. They're a little, well, rotted...



Those three shots are of the front drivers side frame rail, pretty much right under the drivers door. As you can see, the rail is starting to crunch under the weight of the car on the jack. Any thoughts/advice? Can/should I replace the whole thing, or does it look fixable?

 

Figured I'd post a few pictures of the car...


There she is up on the tow truck being taken to my Aunt & Uncles where I've been working on her...
