Hey Guys
Im really hoping somone can give me some advice. I recently bought a 67 fastback and am in the middle of replacing the whole back end(inner and outer wheel wells ,quater panel ,tail light panel)

The problem is the left frame rail is sitting about a 1/4 inch higer then the right so the tail like panel wont line up to the bumber holes in the trunk .
Is there anyway i can adjust the rail to be level? i tryed putting pressure on it by standing on it but obviosly the pressure bring it back up when i step off.
Will this effect the driving once it is drivable ?
the trunk panel also will not fit right because of this.
Please help !

damn i don't know what you can do. have you talked to a body shop about it? i wonder if you can cut the frame out and then re weld it into the right position.

first we should know what is the rear frame...most of us wont be knowing....a rear frame rail has a front bracket and a rear bracket.a leaf spring is connected at the front end to each front bracket and same with rear one..
