Default Re: Front cross member fracture help

High Drew,

From experience in knowing all of the previous owners who cracked my front cross member.

1. The terrible vintage roads and field dirt roads that made front cross member crack can only be found if you look for some non-classified roads in the boonies, not properly labeled by a Highway Department on a map.

2. The rough wild drivers who made this front cross member crack can be found in 2016 among wild drivers, (some drunk, some sober), who have absolutely no respect for preservation of these wonderful vintage cars.

3. Get it properly welded by a professional welder and with normal intelligence and care, you will probably wear out (5) sets of piston rings before it cracks again.
