[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16447022, member: 70025"] Okay everyone, I've actually been on vacation for a few days, so I was able to make some serious progress. I would like to say that this is the "FIRST" time I have ever done anything like this. I have no formal training or experience with welding or metal fabrication. However, I have been watching car shows and YouTube videos for years and have a "general" knowledge of the concept. So, I am learning from my mistakes and as I go. Causes me to do some things twice, but I'd rather do it twice and be right than leaving it messed up LOL. I finally received my new frame rail. Here you can see the differences in the bad one vs. the new one. The bad one is the mini rail and you can see it is wider than the new one. The bad one is actually so wide it fits over the new one that is the correct size. I decided to keep the bad one to use as patch metal. New full frame rail (However, I'll only be using the front half) [ATTACH=full]1649270[/ATTACH] Side by side comparison. If you look close you can see there is more material below the holes on the bad rail (Short one on the bottom) [ATTACH=full]1649271[/ATTACH] The bad one is so wide it actually fits over the new one. [ATTACH=full]1649272[/ATTACH] Here you can see how much wider the bad one is. [ATTACH=full]1649273[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
