while filling it, chances are it it softened the epoxy. >>
Steve is right on this. I uploaded a few pictures that shows the extent of 
the damage I had on my frame. Let me just say that it was BAD. Its all 
fixed now and I have more pictures of when we put the frame back together 
(still need to be developed). When I was in cleveland, the guy that I had do 
the work on my frame, cut the whole front half of my frame off so he could 
work on it. As you would expect I was PISSED. It all turned out good 
though, my brother welded the front half of the frame back on along with that 
section on the drivers side that was all rusted up, and just yesterday I was 
able to successfully mount the body and frame with the mounting holes all 
mating up with each other. Today I am going to be working on the tranny 
linkage and inner driveshafts, and if I have time the fuel line connections 
on the motor. 

Here are the links to the pictures....
