Frame Repairs, September-October 2012

Now that the frame was sand blasted, I was able to inspect the frame for any repairs that needed to be done.   I already knew about some rotten sections that were located on the frame rails where the frame bends up towards the engine saddle.  There were also a few spots around some of the body mounts that needed repair also.  My brother in law is a welder, so he was nice enough to volunteer his services for the welding work that I needed done.

Here are some pictures of the areas of concern

As can be seen by the pictures, there was some significant rot in these areas.

Here are the pictures of the repair work.



While we were already repairing the frame, I took this time to fully box the frame as well. I purchased a boxing kit from ABC Performance in Michigan.  I also purchased their custom transmission crossmember, which I will show in future posts.
