- quick little video of some random footage I took while replacing a mangled frame rail on this Nissan 240sx. car was extremely low in its past life which in turn ripped the frame rail apart. I cut a frame rail out of a parts car and sectioned it in here. I have done a lot of work like this in the past with more thorough videos to come.
Working wonders with the bug zapper and flap wheel broski 🔥
It’s nice down in Florida, peel off the frame real well on a new one. Up here in New York. Everything is rusted. I’ve been up here 60 years next week. I’m moving down to South Carolina with my family. Heading for the good life. No more road salt no more crazy Winters.
I've been in Florida all my life the heat is rough sometimes but I don't think I could handle the cold and snow 😅
amazing video man. well done
Wish you were closer....to canada lol😆
Im doing mine soon. Im replacing both sides. The entire rail.
looks great
Thanks for watching
What did u do to reinforce the jack point?
i added in a 12ga sheet of steel in that section instead of the factory 22g
Solid work man!
🙏 thank you
Looks so good bro
Haha guess i'll need to make a set of lower frame rails if i want slam it on 14-15's! Nice vid man
🙏🙏
noob question. wasnt easier/better to re-weld and reinforce the old frame rails?
No the rails were bent and scrapped down too thin . Even if you could clamp it all back together it would be wavy and introduce too much heat to the already thin metal. Also joining this as a long seam would leave a large area for the frame rail to rust inside. Although you could “patch it” by doing this that’s not the proper way to go about it. If you saw the double stacked Oem metal rusting this is what will happen if you just try to “reinforce” by adding metal ontop of existing they just rust inbetween layers.
