New Frame Rail Pics
Thought I'd share some pics of the newly installed passenger side frame rail section & some before & after pics.

Nice. :cool: Did you do the work yourself? I ask because I have done this repair myself a couple of times, and thought that it really wasn't that bad. That's a nice welding job you've got there as well. :cheers:

I removed the old rail & mocked up the new pieces. I had a welder with a mobile setup do all the welds in stainless. Very pleased with the quality! Removed the other rail yesterday...hope to have it ready for welding next week.

Your welder must have TIG welded the seams then huh? :cool: IMO that's the way to go. That's my favorite welder anyway.

Wow, that looks really nice. I'm very impressed with those welds. The rest of the frame is looking better, too. I see that you have been cleaning and painting quite a bit.
