Been a while since I've been on here. I've decided to buy a welder and fix up the frame on my old Allstate that's been in my family for 50+ years. Dad left it sit out and rust when I was a kid, parts weren't available then, pre internet days, so he didnt value it enough to keep it inside. Different times..
This ones pretty bad, but theres some real solid metal here too. Just beside the seams under the tank area is rusty. Anyone have pics an ideas of frame repairs they've done to scoots that were pretty toasted? Im not a bodyman so im looking for ideas and tricks of the trade. -Terry
