We ordered full-length rails for each side because the frame was in that bad of shape. Fortunately, the front area around the E-brake cable mounting location was good, so we simply trimmed the rail to fit behind that point. |  Before you begin welding,...  Before you begin welding, you MUST make sure the Safe-T-cap is completely in place. It must fit snugly over the framerail.

POR-15 works because it chemically bonds to rusted metal and forms a hard, nonporous coating that won't peel. |  Once all the welding is complete,...  Once all the welding is complete, the new metal needs protecting so it doesn't rust. |  After the POR-15 has dried,...  After the POR-15 has dried, the fuel tank, rear suspension, and the brake and fuel lines can be replaced. |
