[DML] Re: Rust question

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This repair is a lot more than just replacing a few rusted spots! When
replacing a whole section it is customary to double the joint like you
intend. Since you are doing such a massive "graft" refer to
R:02:02-:03 for all the dimensions that you MUST adhere to. The
general way to do it is with a plumb bob dropping the points to the
floor and then measuring. With all the work involved you might be
better off trying to get another frame. If the front is this bad you
might have problems with the back around the motor cradle too. If the
frame was in an accident that ruined the front than you may never get
it straight enough again. If you are worried about rust maybe you
should just get a S/S frame. It should outlast you!
