Greetings:
Finally got my frame out for a little R&R – Whoo Hooo
For the most part, overall, it looks fairly good….
The area directly behind the bogies looks pretty good and there is only a little corrosion – The areas between the front lateral support and rear support are fairly decent – And the area between the frame rails and inner support, mostly lower half, had a fair amount of corrosion but it didn’t appear to be very deep upon closer inspection – Some quick scraping revealed it was not very deep and appeared to be rust mixed with dirt.
I’ll post more pictures after I finish the initial “rust scraping”
The only area of concern I found, left rail about 2ft back from frame/front clip junction, was what I can only describe as a “small impact bulge&dent” in the lower (~1/3) section/bottom of the frame - I have posted some pictures, using a straight edge and placed bottom/middle/top from two different angles, of this “bulge”.

I have no idea if this is a show stopper or not and would be most appreciative of any input anyone would be kind enough to give/share.
Thanks for any help you can give.
