Re: [DML] Welding my rusted frame



Paul, I encountered the same problem on 02650. As everyone said, the only 
way to do it safely is to remove the fuel tank. (Not too tough of a job). 
I'll offer this though. The reason the frame rusted there is because by 
design, it was very difficult for the epoxy to flow to the inside area of the 
from crossmember. This left the inside walls of the crossmember only 
partially coated (if at all). Since is rusted from the top down 
(inside-out), what you have found with hammer is probably only part of what 
is actually rusting. To be safe, I removed most of that lower plate, prepped 
and coated the inside of the frame and then welded in the new piece. I have 
pictures of the entire repair process on my website. (Project Delorean)
