B Body Drivers Side Crossmember Section

Hey Cos, are you butt welding it in, and putting a U channel inside as a doubler reinforcement ? I know that's what I would do, after sandblasting and treating the inside of the crossmember.

I would recommend having the shop doing it to sandblast inside the rail and coat it with a good epoxy primer to seal it up.

Yep, that’s what I’m doing, and it looks as if I’ll be doing it myself. And these convertible tops too. Unless a certain good buddy of mine wants to visit and help clean up a few dozen of these jobs!
