mid resto, sandblasted the frame to weld up a few minor scars, ive noticed the entire rail is pitted through like swiss cheese.:CRY:
I'm looking for a 1966, 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass frame, if its prepped and ready to go, the more i'm willing to pay.
It can be a convertible or hardtop frame- (convertible preferred, but not required)
Please help me! I really want to get my baby back on the road, cruisin' !!!:cool:
PM me..thanks y'all!
sorry to hear about your frame :( . i dont have one for you but i'll bet your really glad you blasted it and found the holes before puting it back on the car. it sound pretty bad but are you sure it's not saveable? if the holes are on a nice flat spot couldnt you lay new steel over you clean blasted frame and weld it on over it. my frame wasnt swiss cheese but there is more than one spot i had to cut out and replace.
Canadian winters kill frames..period :(
I've thought about laying over new steel, but it would need simply too much.
i am very glad i had it blasted first! a few more cracks appeared ( no biggie there) but when i slid my trouble light down the inside of the frame (convertible boxed frame) the light shining through almost made me sick..:eek:
it would be a shame to bolt a perfect all steel southern body that weak frame.
Thanks for the reply, spread the word- if you could!
I'd box it with appropriate sized Steel angles and weld'em up, did this to a '38Chevy- lot of work - but all you need is hard work and determination - OH! and some steel! GOOD LUCK!
