I spent the weekend gnawing off the right rear suspension console which had a big crack in it. I also removed some of the upper longitudinal that was pitted. As I can now see into the logitudinal with a light, I need some advice as to how I should aproach the rust behind the jack post. This area is double walled, and I didn't know if the "inner wheelhouse, lower portion" was double walled as well. Would cutting this piece out and patching cause the frame to flex while on jack stands? My door gaps are fine, but I would like to get in their and try to fix any longitudinal rust. Also, the "clambshells" would be another option, which I presume covers the rusted areas. Has anyone done this repair before? Any advice would be great.

Brad:
How did you go about replicating the spot welds? I was thinking of drilling holes in the metal and then mig welding around the hole. The only problem is, as I was practicing this on scrap, I found that I could only make a decent weld if the hole I drilled was at least 3/8". This just seems kind of big, but then again, ikt all gets filled in. |
