    Be careful of the galvanizing process drawing up the metal.
    And you might want to remove the seats before you do this...often times sharp points of metal are made after galvanizing...they could poke the lovely girl's hinies...

        He has a nice salve that he could help them apply if this happens.

            90w is not considered a salve...

                        Not dumb - illinformed about the uses of 90W

                            Reframe

                            I became the "Reframe Biatch" in the late 90's at my LR Center. The fastest one I did was on a Disco 1, I did it in three long days. Unhook everything you can, raise the body, find more you forgot, raise more, find still more you forgot, curse a lot, the once free lift body free. then it is a snap with the new frame side by side with the old one. It is simply transfering the drive train one major part at a time. I lifted the engine/tranny/tbox as one and set on blocks, the I did the front and rear suspensions as units which got the new frame off the ground, then drivetrain back in, switch out the little stuff and fuel tank, then roll new frame back under the body, and start lowering and making connections as you go.
                            The first one i did was on a RR Classic, took 6 days, second on a D90, took 5 days, This disco I did in probably 30-35 hours or 3 days.
                            It sucks, but I learned alot, and after you do reframe, you are in a very exclusive club!!
                            Cheers,
                            Jack in Bavaria

                                        I already lost the list in this mess so you're off it again. Man, I need to clean the inside of the rover...
