I've got my 64 Chevelle frame sandblasted and in the jig nowadays. There were a lot of cracks and some frame rot, especially the rear spring/shock mount "pads" are quite worn out. Is there anywhere I can get replacement parts for the frame?

The body mount locations are also pretty bad, I've already found a place that sells replacements that need to be cut to fit after cutting out the old ones, however I'm changing to nylon/polyurethane body mount bushings and figured it'd be a good upgrade to increase the rigidity of the mount points while the frame is out. What do you think? Is the stock metal thickness good enough? I should mention that the frame will be considerably stiffened too.

EDIT: I posted in the wrong forum, this shold've been in "Suspension", can a mod please move it, thanks!

Well if your going to spend so much time and cash trying tot resurrect a worn out piece Id look up www.schwartzperformance.com i do believe he has a complete replacement chassis for older A bodies with suspension up grades to boot.

Schwartz make quality pieces, no doubt about it. The drawback is that I live in Norway (Europe) and shipping and taxes will be huge. We also have quite strict rules for modifications here. I know people have gotten modified stock frames through inspection though and would like to retain as much of it as possible because of that as well.
