Title: rusted yframe ends Post by: greyside on October 24, 2004, 05:59:28 PM as i am not out to do a full on perfect resto on my fe ........and since a previous owner already has.........is it regowise ok to leave the inner frame arms simply welded (very solidly and neatly)to the floor channel?

Title: Re: rusted yframe ends Post by: mcl1959 on November 07, 2004, 08:31:24 AM I think that the subframe is bolted on for the sole reason that it is a separate part. The skirts are even attached with a hard setting caulking compound which isn't designed to move so I can't see why the bottom should move at all.
