Actually, I am feeling a little foolish for disagreeing with you. There is no possibility that you would have recommended carboard and roofing cement.............even a resourceful fellow such as yourself wouldn't have reached that far.:eek:

I have seen many old American cars that were more Bondo and fiberglass then steel.:D Is cardboard and roofing cement really any worse?

If you can snag a prescription for "Protonics" then you should do it. By far the best proton pump inhibitor that I've ever taken.

ooh. nice frame rails, wish mine were that nice. Soon though they will be. I've just welded the doors and quarters, the frame rails are next. - BTW, the metal on those rails is pretty thin, less than 1/16" everywhere I measured it - but overlapped at the front bottom corner.
