How difficult is it to cut out the old front frame rails and weld in new ones? Mine are in pretty bad shape. The bonnet lock plates were just welded in place at one point and one of them finally fell off while driving the other day.

I'm curious about what others will have to say about this. One of my project cars has a slightly kinked front rail. I was contemplating getting a new one welded on. I'll stay tuned...

I spoke with a local British car shop, and it sounds like it's not a huge deal. I'm planning to just take my car over there in a couple of weeks and let them have a go at it. I'll post a follow up after the work is complete.
