You're a poor secret keeper

A co-worker at school does all of the metal roof work & repair, took one look at the piece I removed, said he could do it all in a couple of twenty minutes, even with my help!

That reminds me of a sign that my dad had hanging in his lawn mower shop.

Price $20
If you watch: $40
If you tried to do it before and failed: $60

I Have A Secret

i have kinda gave up with welding that real thin stuff and have been brazeing it with good results. maybe you could braze patches to the inside then use lead or putty to make it all smoothe from the outside before paint. Just an idea.

[Bruce]

Hah-hah, I'm a little anxious too!
Thanks for the encouragement , Frank, Wes, it'll help. After some clean up & some rust abatement, the project will commence.
CRoss Your Fingers,

I'm afraid I have no advice for you. I wimped out on mine and bought a take off from John at Midwest Military. Mine was so far gone that it would have probably been rejected at the scrap yard.

I'm anxious to see your finished product.

Way to go Bruce! Where there is a will there is a way!

More Rust

[Bruce]

Rusty Stuff

Few more

Well I did it I removed the drivers side windscreen, ground the 6 or so outside welds I popped the interior welds (they were easier than I thought they would be?) another 6 or so. I have made a card board template & gettin ready to use the brake at work, along with some professional supervision from a pro that does it all the time at school.

It won't cost anything to ask around. VPW or Midwest Military should have one I'd think. With the multitude of 37's out there and all the parts it shouldn't be that hard to find. This will not be an easy repair from the looks of it, just saying.

[Bruce]

Whoa

I don't think I can put my mit's on another decent frame, but who knows?
I might try and fab an entire outer frame cover, it would also make applying the nuts or tapping the threads easier?
I have made the bottom rotted piece already, however I ain't in love wid it?
Thanks For Your Input Fellas!

I am not sure about how to go about this, I want to make a patch panel for my windshield, it's the drivers side, where the tubing for the vacuum wiper motor travels out of the pivot bolt and into the frame.

I had planned on welding in a small patch, but got the idea I might be able to make it from fiber glass? Then I got to wondering about how to attach it to the frame itself?

I meant to do this with a pic or two, but neglected to take them today, as I had some tree removal to deal w/when I got home.
I will post them tomorrow.

Bruce, I agree with Ron, get a different frame. It looks to me that your frame is too far gone to repair, although it would be possible to repair if you really wanted to test your skills. I would save the wear and tear on myself and find a better piece.
