AFCO Racing Frame Repair Kit

AFCO Racing Frame Repair Kits: Racing-Grade Chassis Restoration

When a race car's chassis takes a hit — whether from a crash, corrosion, or the relentless stress of competition — the structural integrity of the frame becomes a critical safety and performance concern. AFCO Racing addresses this need head-on with its purpose-built Frame Repair Kits, engineered specifically for the demands of dirt Modified and circle track racing.

OEM-Matched Steel Construction

AFCO Racing frame repair kits offer heavy-gauge steel rails that fit perfectly and weld in easily — since they are an exact reproduction of the factory original. This commitment to dimensional accuracy means builders and crew chiefs can trust that their repairs will align the first time, without the guesswork or custom fabrication that lesser kits often require.

The frame's material is the same grade and thickness as the OEM frame and welds very consistently. For racers who depend on predictable handling and repeatable chassis setups, this consistency is not just a convenience — it's a competitive advantage. Frame assembly is both easy and consistent due to the locating tabs having built-in stops for alignment.

Designed for Dirt Modified Racing

AFCO's frame repair lineup centers on the popular 1968–72 GM A-Body / Chevelle platform — the backbone of countless Modified and Sport Mod builds across dirt tracks nationwide. These frames are approved by IMCA, WISSOTA, USRA, USMTS, DIRTcar, and most other major sanctioning bodies, making them a compliant, competition-ready solution right out of the box.

The crossmember has clearance built into the back side for radiator placement and into the front side for steering components, and has been lowered on the left upper side for steering shaft clearance. Details like these reflect the input of actual racers — not just engineers at a drafting table.

Smart Engineering Details That Save Time

AFCO's frame kit design saves up to 6 hours of build time, thanks to locating tabs for easy assembly. Additional thoughtful touches include 5/16" locating holes on the lower section of the crossmember for correct indexing of horn placement for easy fitment, and front horns notched in the spring pocket area for ease of spring changes, with a stamping that is actually stronger in the spring pocket area since the metal is not pulled in different directions as factory frames are.

Replacement individual right and left horns and right frame rails are available for crash repair, so teams can address specific damaged sections without replacing an entire front clip.

Backed by AFCO's Engineering Philosophy

AFCO Racing Products is an engineering-based manufacturing company staffed by experienced professionals who are passionate about the racing industry. AFCO started with a simple need for a better suspension and has now grown into a full-service manufacturing and distribution company that builds industry-leading shocks, suspension, cooling products, and brake products. That same engineering rigor carries through to every frame repair kit they produce.

Frame rails weakened by rust, damaged in an accident, or by attempts at pushing or towing can adversely affect other chassis components and make a vehicle unsafe. AFCO's heavy-gauge, OEM-spec frame repair kits are the professional answer to that problem — for racers who refuse to cut corners on chassis safety.
