Complete with half *** bandaids.l9l
Not as bad as the bandaids they installed on these. you can still see the screw holes where they were attached. What many don't realize is once the rail is gone at this location the rail is none repairable and should be replaced not capped.. This guy drove this car in with a new Pa. state inspection on the windshield. He drove it until the upper A-arm rusted off and was all over the road. Never missed entering a car show with it though.

I installed a complete front clip. Floor pans and torsion bar cross member. It was a slant six car and all he had to drive. It is his baby and yes he enters it in local car shows. That is where Ii met him. He drove it in on a friday and drove it ot on monday. I charged him $800 with the clip. That is all he had. He is on SSD and get around $900 a month.

When I looked at it the frame was covered with Aluminum siding and undercoated. You could see he done it several years ago. Now he is so proud of the job he shows everyone. Brought in a bunch more work at the time. Now I am just getting to old to take them on without my son here. So we moved all the frame machine and the fixture to his shop. He is younger and has employees. I am sure down the road he'll take some rust work on. Right now he has race cars chassis to build and straighten that other shops screwed up.
