The 1968-1972 Chevy II / Nova 2 Door Coupe Outer Left Roof Structure Side Rail with Bottom Bracket is a critical structural component designed to restore strength and support to the driver side of your classic Nova. Running from the A-pillar to the rear wheelhouse, this heavy-gauge stamped steel panel is specifically engineered for 2-door coupe models and includes the bottom bracket for complete installation. Built to factory specifications, it replicates the original contours for a precise fit, making it ideal for rust repair, collision damage, or full body restorations requiring structural reinforcement.
Installation:
Difficulty: 5/5 – Complex installation requiring advanced fabrication, welding, and body alignment; professional installation highly recommended.
Begin by carefully removing the original rail along factory seams and spot welds. Clean and prep surrounding metal. Test-fit the new side rail and ensure precise alignment with roof, quarter panel, and wheelhouse structures. Weld securely using structural welding techniques, grind welds smooth, seal joints, and apply primer and paint to complete the restoration process.
