Re: Frame Rot
I've re-joined membership after 10-yrs. Frame rail has steel plating to surround rust by front leaf spring hanger, a surprise I found after purchasing the car in 2000. I just now fix the frame rail above the rear cross-member. I think I can add more steel plating over the existing steel plating where a little rust is coming out again.
Bottom line is I can still enjoy car right now and make top side look good, without 1-yr down time to change to new frame and make car more valuable to someone else in the future.
Aloha,
Eric
