Wonder bar????

My camaro was not so fortunately equipped with the wonder bar and the subframe has formed a crack not really rusted or anything just a crack. I know alot of times when frames crack or break, it seems that you can never stay on top of repairing it. So should I scratch this and pull the motor and forget this frame or is this fixable?

Thanks

It is common for the frame to crack near the steering box. Yes it is fixable. You don't have to junk the body. Unfortunately repairing the crack costs more than the price of a Steering Brace (aka Wonder Bar) which would have helped to prevent the crack forming in the first place.
