Front Frame Rail Evaluation

OK. You asked. Some of it looks kind of OK, and some of it looks cracked (although that could be a shadow caused by a thick weld bead sticking up). All of the welding looks rough. I do a lot of rust repair and welding. I am kind of anal when doing repairs like that. I always grind the welds down so as to make the repair undetectable, and I can see all of those rather sloppy welds. I would personally redo all of it. Whoever did those repairs did very sloppy work, and if it looks sloppy, the actual repair may not be good. You can slop a bead of weld on a repair area, but if the welder is not set up properly, you will wind up with a weak weld. You need good heat penetration for a strong weld, and I don't trust sloppy looking welds. I would do one area at a time. For maximum strength, I would even consider plug welding some heavy angle iron pieces on the inside of the corners. When welding the outside of the corner edges, make sure you have good penetration and properly dress the welds. To ME, a good repair is undetectable. If you lived near me, I would help you.
