Here is a photo of a spot in the side of the '40 frame rail I plan to cut out and weld in a oval shaped patch. The frame at that point appears to be about .125. thick. My question is what type steel would you recommend for the patch ? Would 1029 regular carbon steel be suitable ? Thank you Fordbarners..
