Default Re: Repairing the dent in the subframe of Camaro Nova

I repaired mine by drilling out the spot welds along the front and back of the dented area. Then used a 1/8" cutoff wheel to cut from front to back. You can spend as much time as you like making the piece straight. While I had it opened up I added a piece of channel iron for reinforcement. Clamp the piece back in position and redo the spot welds and weld up the ends. After I ground it all smooth I took a drill bit and put small marks to duplicate the factory spot welds. Some paint or powdercoat and it will look good as new.
