bought a few Trekkers a while back .. and now have started my own .
this one is going to be a "some what" stock restoration .. but with a few "extras" .
so here's where I'm starting .
don't mind the dust .. it's been sitting inside my shop for a while now .
there is one small rust hole on The right side .. front spring hanger , inside box steel .. you can see it in the pic .. it's so minor , I'm just going to weld in a patch .
so a little work today ... got onto the frame repair .
got the little plates/patches welded in .. It really wasnt that bad at all , the main / worse dammage was from me hitting with a hammer it trying to find the rust .. I really didnt see any point in doing "fish plates" .. as there (in my opinion) was NO structural strength loss . Other side is perfect .
and done ..
also started "prepping" the frame for the POR-15 treatment.
