I saw a very rusted frame at Josh's house where that section, along with the
same rear one, were completely gone. One guy there had fun chipping the
metal away and it was very easy to do. This was not the same frame as the
recent one where the wheel fell off.
Anyway, while we were there Ken said what he does is cut out those areas and
weld in new metal and repaint everything. It looked like the bottom of
these areas wouldn't be too hard to remove and replace and if I remember
correctly they were spot-welded together so that would be even easier to
remove. Maybe Josh will chime in here if there is any update on that one.

Subject: [DMCForum] RUST ...Need suggestions
I have a significant amount of rust on my frame but it is totally
inaccessible. It is up in the front section of the frome that is
boxed in in between the front wheels. The only access to the
section (which is a hollow box about 4x8x6 inches) is through a small
1 1/2 hole.
What can I put up in that hole that will remove the epoxy and the
rust and treat the area? I kow there isn't ONE product that can do
this but what can I do. I really can't afford to have the section
cut out to be fixed and then welded. Don't even know where in
Orlando I would take it for that to begin with.
