Mastersbilt Chassis?

If it has been garage kept it shouldn't matter. I've seen old cars cut apart and the tubing looks like new inside.

And I have seen main rails and uprights off the main rails that were like tin foil when cut up.... or wrecked, how do you know? I have personally seen garage kept, externally ascetically beautiful cars that were 8 years old crack at the rf kick up from internal corrosion. I don't believe the main rail ends were closed in the old days either as I recall. Good luck!

Theres a machine called a sonic tester that tell you the wall thickness. Im pretty sure Nascar still uses them.

It appears to me, Krooser has made very professional repairs in his pics. If he selects the appropriate safety devices, I don't think he will have a problem. I applaud his effort to get back on the track!

I was more concerned with the .049 tubing in the rear stub than the light dusting of surface rust I found when I started modifications... Look at the pix.

Thought you guys would like a sample photo of the Ruggles scales I bought this week... should be into them for about $75.00 total. Thank God the "Safety Nazis" haven't taken over the specs on weights and measures!
