67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Well I got most of the LH rail done. Still a bit more finish welding, but my bottle ran out of gas. I am very pleased with it. Still have to strap it on the inside in a few spots, and run one more bead on the outer side. Will punch a drain hole in the stock location. Once the rails get sandblasted I will put a skim coat of JB weld over these to smooth them into the frame, and shoot it with 2k epoxy. At least now I have a spot to add the parking brake cable bracket i have yet to make. Some of you may be wondering why I left a right angle on the side repair pieces. I did that to stiffen them up a bit and give me something to weld to since trying to weld inside a framerail is a bit tough. 4th pic shows how the weld on inside and outside in these areas really stiffens up this attachment joint.
