We did not add a piece, just welded the seam.

Was thinking of painting the chassis red. Any ideas out there? Has anyone used Hammerite? I want to be able to encapsulate or deal (conversion) with any rust and have a long lasting durable finish that can be touched up in the future and still look good. Maybe too much to ask. I see that a lot are using the POR 15. I could go that way but you have to strip the frame to metal, POR, and then top coat or color. You know how a chassis is on these trucks. They are a work in progress and you may be welding to them or whatever for some time.

What about hole patch in frames. Is this something that should be done or is done by most?
