1964 comet rusted subframe

Thank you I appreciate the answer a friend of my father is a mechanic and he was thinking that I could cut away the bad and reenforce it with plate steel or c channel but my fear there is that by doing that it would lose the ability to flex and potentially break or bend.

Thank you I appreciate all these answers they are vet helpful. I'm only 22 years old I've put together a 62 falcon 3 years ago but it wasn't in this bad of shape and my grandfather was there to help me but he pasted away last year. This comet was his and I want nothing more than to put it on the road again

I would look for a frame on Craig's list or other sources. Welding up a frame should only be done by a fabricator that is really good so check references.

Yes sir I agree. My cousin is welder and he does a lot welding on his race car and for other people too. I just spoke with him and he believes the he can reenforce the whole frame rather than patch 2 spots he's coming over tonight to take a look and be sure.

I'll post some pics on here so y'all can see what I'm working with haha but I'm hoping it all works out

I am not impugning your cousin in anyway but if it was my car I would have him fix it and then shop around for another frame just to have in case you need it.

I thought of that but there just isn't any around here I've looked the closest one I've found is 1,200 miles away

That would be awesome but I live in southern Alabama

Owning and restoring an old car in a rust state is a challenge.

That's very true. And I accepted the challenge when I rolled it off the trailer. I'd love to get it done soon as possible but I want to be sure it's done right
