Frame: Inside Treatment?
The BN4 is progressing slowly--now into welding new outriggers and sills. As I am taking such efforts to remove, transform and/or encapsulate visible rust I'm thinking about inside of the main frame. I'm not planning to send the chassis out for dipping, so looking for DIY solutions. The main...- ties581006
