my frame rails are bad in the down on the bottoms just before the leaf mounts, im doing the frame connectors into the original frame rails through the floors and doing the leaf spring relocation as well, my question is will capping the sections in concern with a safe-t-cap style thing work, or should i do it myself with 16 gauge sheet metal. im more worried about strength over looks, can make it look pretty later.

Thanks,
steve

 

replace the rail

 

thats whats prob going to happen now... making a frame jig for it next weekend after carlisle... basicly all yearone from the fire wall back, going to be a long build

 

cut out the rot and replace with new metal, under the car people will not see it, but it will make the car stronger in the end

 

i was thinkin about going that route, but if i do that i wanna cap it off with 1/16th or something along those lines. has anyone done that before i go to Carlisle and come back with frame rails possibly
