Fair enough.  It's what I have and it's already had so many other parts replaced along with the roll bar that I'm willing to waste a little more time and money on it for little to no return.  That's just the way I roll I guess!  (Now if I could just convince some other Slant 6 wackos to join me in my insanity...  )

Shoulda ask for a picture first.  Seriously, that is going to be a tough job with so much deep erosion to the surrounding metal. It is a good candidate for a replacement frame rail or a tube chassis build up.

Think about this Rob. You want to patch up a rotten frame rail and go road racing.  Maybe I should just bury you near Wookie when you guys come up.

Well, as far as I know, the Ruster has a brudder. At least there was another Duster on Rob's trailer heading home when last I saw him and Wookie.

He was alive and well when he left. Not sure if Rob took him home or not. It was touch and go. We did find out Wookie likes country music even less than I like Rush.
