I've been under my 62 Lark hardtop removing the rusty and thin left rear side bottom plate to replace it with new steel. While I have been chipping, scrapping are removing the damaged metal, I have noticed about 1/16 or so of scale between the bottom plate and the upper part of the frame.
I am well committed to finishing the job of cleaning and welding up the frame rail for another 57 years of service but what should I be aware of and looking for while I am cleaning up my Lark's frame. What could possibly change my repair job to a salvage job? How much thinning of the steel is too much thinning of the steel?
