Rusted Radiator Crossmember

My radiator and crossmember is rusted. Has anyone had to have theirs replaced, where did you take your car to have it done, and how much can I expect to pay? Thanks

I know you can take it to a body shop to be replaced. My brother owned a shop and has done many of them. Other members have used angle iron and bolted it to the radiator support to keep everything together.

@Sayrenap, that sounds about right. I paid $689 to have mines done. Some guys from the local Maxima group offered to do it for less, but I wanted the warranty.
