1940 frame
Doing some repair work on a 40 sedan frame. Frame is bare no body (just frame)
If I remove the center box / section on the X member , will the frame pop in other words is the frame under a load ? I need to replace this box and repair rust. Will I have problem with rivet hole alignment for new plates ? Any advice CR. |

Re: 1940 frame
Who knows what that frame has seen during it's lifetime?! Maybe a few fender benders serious enough to tweak the frame; getting T-boned, taken off-road and getting twisted a little (or a lot)? Take plenty of measurements before knocking the rivets out, especially diagonally so the body will fit when you're done.
