Frame Rail replacement

[dviskoe]

thanks for the encouragement all,

here in MN it's -15 today, and the garage has no heat ... so the project is on hold until it's at least mid 40's .... late march prolly ...

but I'm excited to get back to it shortly !

Judge,

I do have the door frames braced, but bolted to hinges and pin, you think i should weld instead/ too ??

I'll definatly want to talk rocker panels when I get to that point again, the tentative plan is to replace the current inner with steel rectangle tube.

They will probably stay put. I would mark it with a sharpy or something to verify starting position. Sometimes I write on the car the actual dimensions from one point to another, for future reference.. there are many ways to dothis. You will come up with some of your own. I usually try to only remove one or two pieces at a time to limit distortion.
