good luck on the fix. If up can mock of some cardboard templates in foot long sections and then have the welding shop cut them out and keep on playing the frame.

Thanks. It's rust free thankfully. It had been in a front end collision whereThe uniframe was pulled out and welded once prior to my purchase. I upgraded the steering box to a durango box with a bunch of new equipment and plated the frame to support the box. this is a new crack further back by the track bar mount. I'm going to try to drill it and weld it myself, but yes i am definitely going to have a machine shop friend cut me some steel to plate with.

Nice. I'm sure you'll get her all solid again. I'd be glad to give you a hand if you were close
