When to junk a frame...
Depending on how deep the rust goes...after shaving, grinding, wire brushing and then rust-morting (phospho-ing) a frame...when you know you've gone too far and should just junk the thing??
Granted, if you can bang it with a hammer and it doesn't crumble -- it's got some metal but damn, what exactly would a safe level or point of reference be?
I drove it the other day...break lines, radiator and gas work. Carb is junk, electrical killed the battery over night and the engine stopped dumping enormous clouds of white smoke after about a mile or two.
It's a rust bucket with good windows.
Anybody actually resurrected something in a condition like this??
I've got a thread up with some pics.
