Front Frame Extension Part 1
A few more nibbles of the elephant tonight. I used the O/A rig to put this back together and to bend it back into shape. I still have a little more to do tomorrow to it.
Today everything fought me…..so I am calling it quits after a few hours. Some times you have to know when to back off…. I did get the frame extensions bent back to the right dimensions though.
Reworked side.
Original good side.
Well I decided to try my luck again and it went much better. I fixed the hole in the tubing on the frame extension and then primed it.
Did a little bit of grinding and test fitted the other bumper bracket.
And then to the primer. I am so old I still think of it as red lead primer.
Another hour or so this am after little Joe went back to college cutting out the rust.
The filler piece from scraps.
The set up.
The tack.
The copper so it doesn’t burn through and stick to my anvil.
Voila!
