Help needed..rear exhaust hanger gone!!

[Mark B.]

Ok, so I'm putting a new exhaust system on my 59 when I realize the two trapezoidal metal ledges with holes are missing from the inside rear section of my frame...both sides!! These short ledges provide the attachment point for the exhaust hangers on 56 to 60's, I believe. Does anybody make these as a reproduction part or am I stuck with creating my own? Any help would be greatly appreciated before I try my luck at fabrication. Thanks in advance.

A lot of people have exhaust hangers, but some of it is pretty pricey.

You have Carlisle coming in August. Do you have to have it before?

Check a copy of Hemmings for swap meets within a 100 miles or two and go scour the piles of parts.

Then you have eBay.

Forgot to add, get catalogs

Eckler's, Paragon, Volunteer, etc. Many of these vendors have exhaust hangers.

Try Vette Products of Michigan as they make the repro frames.
