Cut it out, grind back till you hit good metal and bend up a piece using the other side of the frame as a jig and weld it in. I would also hit with a sandblaster and maybe even box it in.

If it's mainly the bottom rail, just use flat stock. I would blast it to see what else is punky. Trailing arms could use a good blasting too to see how they look. Like eating an elephant......just one bite at a time.

Re: my 66 project
 

lol on eating a elephant.yes it's only on the lower frame rail.
i already have some different trailing arms mine were totally gone.i bought them from a member on here.

im going to have the frame bead blasted and powder coated and will some how fix this area and all other bad areas.i will also do some cross bracing for a possable high horse power engine combo.
i'm a drag racer so you just cant have enough power lol.
i'll post more photo's as my project continue's. right now heading to the
us nationals a friend of mine drive's a top fuel dragster so going to go hang on with terry hope it doesnt get rained out.
