I didn't see one decent weld on the whole tube
frame. Those guys are practicing engineers today. Scary!
As a rule, engineers don't tend to do the welding on the

I have personally made some of the worst welds I've ever seen.

Just got a call from the MN specialist who wants me to come over so he can
show me where the frame is cracked. That I was not expecting nor am I
pleased to hear that one. Any thoughts as to what if anything can be done?
He wanted me to see it before we talked about it.

Sometimes if you know you're keeping it for life, it's easier to spend money
on them. All part of sorting an old car out.

Still a frame of sorts even if not the old style full frame.

We had a frame crack repaired on the GMC farm truck not all that long ago.
They boxed that section of the frame, maybe 1 foot around the crack
Oh man what a bummer, that is not anything I would want to hear either.
I guess that might be that groaning I was hearing when stopping,
starting or turning a corner. I hope it will be possible to repair the
cracks without to great a cost.

A groaning sound under those conditions would be consistent with a
substantial frame crack. If you want a really good weld, find the

airframes, you don't want
