Happy Thursday lol

 

Ahh, a little JB weld and some zip ties and good as new..

 

Ouch. That sucks. Were you able to limp her home?

Looks like it's time to weld plate down the outside of both frame rails.

 

Ouch. Fire up the welder boys!


Brian.

 

Meh- a minor flesh wound.
but damn, that is a shyte ton of rust. Ouch.

 

Ouch X2

 

That's Ohio for ya lol rust everywhere

I got her home and I'll plate it up to bolster the new welds. Wont be able to fix her until Saturday

 

It'll buff out.

 

Unfortunately it'll happen again if just welded back into place as it's a design change from a Watts to a Panhard thereby reducing the stress location points by 50%. It needs serious reinforcement of the chassis/frame around that area by at least 1'00" on all sides to spread the point loadings. Big shame as the frame is also pretty rusty in that area so will increase the difficulties.

 

now that's what we call in no rust California s a "no Bueno"
