Opinions on frame rail patching

[jeff71]

Thanks for the link Ron, I will check those out.

Hey Donny how's the Mustang coming along? You don't think the metal is compromised enough to warrant replacement? What about penetration of the welds to pitted metal?

Thanks

Jeff

I should have been clearer. I don't think patching the top only to cover it up with the 1/2" thick plate gains you anything compared to just running it as is.

I do believe that replacing that entire section of frame rail like what was linked is the best option.

The passenger side is fine, the driver's side is the one that bothers me, the top inside corner being pitted is the problem as that is where you will perimeter weld the top plate.

I would buy the replacement rail.
