The 1968-1972 Chevy II / Nova 2 Door Coupe Outer Right Roof Structure Side Rail with Bottom Bracket is a premium replacement panel designed to restore the integrity and structure of the passenger side roof support system. Extending from the A-pillar to the rear wheelhouse, this panel is engineered specifically for 2-door coupe models and includes the bottom bracket for added strength and proper installation. Built from heavy-gauge stamped steel, it replicates the factory profile to ensure proper fitment and alignment with the surrounding sheet metal. Ideal for addressing rust, collision damage, or structural fatigue, this component is essential for a comprehensive body restoration.
Installation:
Difficulty: 5/5 – Advanced installation requiring extensive cutting, welding, and alignment; best suited for professional restoration shops.
Carefully remove the original side rail by cutting along factory seams and drilling out spot welds. Clean and prepare the mating surfaces. Test-fit the new panel to verify alignment with the roof, quarter panel, and wheelhouse. Weld the replacement panel into place using proper structural welding techniques. Grind welds, seal joints, and finish with primer and paint as part of a complete structural restoration.
