67/68/69 cuda dilemma
.got to poking around on the LH framerail with the inner fender off and found this. No better time to repair it than now I suppose. The rails are 14 gage steel. I decided to fab up a splice piece out of 14 gage sheet. Just a little more tweaking and it will fit exact. The inside of the framerail is all light surface rust. Nothing to get real worried about. I only sandblast outside my shop for obvious reasons, and will have this closed in before then. I will likely use Por15 inside here before I weld it up. Underside of the new piece I just hit with a little weld thru primer. The old piece was clean on the underside. Still had primer on it. Last pic is the RH framerail as a comparison.
