Rear frame replacement, or not?

[Clsccmro]

The driver side rear frame rail in my 69 camaro is bent from an accident that occured before I purchased the car. When they had the car fixed, they did it as cheaply as possible, and never bothered to get the frame fixed. On top of that, the rear quarter was either welded on by an idiot, or it had to be welded on that way because of the bent frame, not really sure. Also, the wheel well was never installed correctly either. All of this may or may not be due to the bent frame. Needless to say, the left side of the car sits higher in the rear than the right side does. I'm trying to track down a reputable frame shop in my area to get a quote to fix it. But, I'm really not sure if it would be more beneficial for me to have the rear frame rails replaced alltogether instead of trying to fix the current one.

My question is basically, by replacing the frame rails will that automatically straighten the rear out, or will there be a lot more involved? Also, since the quarter was welded on incorrectly, i believe, will they most likely have to take the rear quarter off, install new frame rails, and then put quarter back on?

Any help here guys would be GREATLY appreciated.

Also, if anyone knows of a frame shop in or around Winston-Salem, NC please let me know. (places i've contacted can't do this old of a car)

Thanks in advance guys!

I'm in this same predictament right now, only I've got both quarters, tail light valance, and the trunk pan to contend with as well.

My '68 sitting on a frame cart will freely wobble diagonally if I push it. Both frame rails are damaged, though one is more tweaked than the other.

Everyone I've spoken with has told me to find a reputable collision shop that has a computerized measuring and correcting system, the type that uses CNC controled chains and racks to pull the unisbody back into alignment.

Other than that bud, seems we are both screwed for the mean time!
