Time Stamp 5-5-10
The pics below show where the CA160 is today. I got the frame back from the blasters. The rear of the frame had a huge ruptured hole in it. The sides of the frame were distorted as well. The bad metal was cut out. Then the frame sandblasted where the welded patch was to be. After the welding the frame sides were metal formed back into place. Below are a few pics of the reblasted frame and the start of body work.

I mix fiberglass resin and a small amount of polyester body filler and sealed the bottom of the weld.
