replacing rear frame rails?

If building a drag car is out of your budget or will cause budgetary concerns then either self the project or scrap it.

Personally, I think the fox body would be a better choice. You can get that done with little outlay and put an old school paint job on it.

There's jillions of go fast bolt ons parts for foxes.

I had a budget until my son moved back home! Now it's just whatever extra money I can scrape together. Even if I can't move forward right now it won't always be my biggest problem. I just want too much!

By the time you finish with a frame shop, welding plates, and a few other 'minor' items, you'll have spent your $500 (or more).

OTOH, maybe Scedd is right will the problems really be that large for a drag car? Can you take some measurements using the frame dimesions floating around the net? If the front / rear track is OK, for a drag car it may be fine.

good point, as long as it tracks straight I guess it's not a big deal if the rails are tweaked a bit
