    I'm not so sure your patch is structurally strong enough for the springs. I'm sure better than the old rusty frame.. But I think it needs some better overlapping patches. I would add a diagonal type of patch. Over the old, onto the new. I might even put some angle iron to form the corners...

    Saving mine is also the reason I no longer winter drive mine. But if someone had to I would literally coat it in oil underneath and into every cavity annually. Even spray externally on the lower parts. Krown Oil is what I use and it really stops rust from spreading. Notice how our rigs never...

    Most 60's have rust just waiting to pop in the 1/4 arches. The inner wheel well liner where it meets with the outer skin was never protected from the factory. Bare seam. So when you open the interior panel in the back sides you can see into this area. I like to spray oil like rust check or lps 3...

    In my pictures you can also see my new tube rocker panels. I cut out the rockers and put in tubes. The best tool for a cruiser is a small mig welder in my opinion. I don't even bother with shielding gas anymore. I buy inner shield wire and just wire wheel it between welds to keep it clean.

    Okay for some motivation. I bought quarter panel kits in 2007, and installed them. They rotted back out and now this year I got to re-do it. The rear portion of Left hand side quarter arches were rusty, so I cut it out and used a finger type arch repair piece. I welded it in spot weld style. I...

    Yah I've thought of that too. But I know even ones that look rust free are waiting to pop. The seams are all bare metal from the factory. I got a tail gate from Japan that was rust free. I opened the bottom seam preventative and found it had rust that was not visible. I paint with duplicolor...

    60 series, especially ones who have seen winter are all full of rust. I have spent years cutting and welding and fixing my rust. Do not use POR-15, it only causes more issues later. If I can say one thing, don't over do it with repairs on body. It always comes back. So now I do this, I...
