ok, so after digging a little deeper i figured out why the frame was hacked the way it was. I also found more places that seem to be just butted together with the old torch slag left in place and just bondo covering it. I marked it with white soap stone so you can follow what i’m dealing with. This is the worst patch job i have ever seen, i just hope i can find all of the metal to replace it properly.
