that is a VERY common problem on g-bodys... you can either buy a set of rear horns on ebay.. or there is a guy on www.maliburacing.com that makes some repro ones... think they are in the 100 dollar range...

id personally drop the frame, change the rear horns and box the center section, install some tall SC&C balljoints and box the rear controll arms and re install....
