My buddy Cole has a '49 Ford custom. He has chopped it 5", frenched the headlights, and
lowered it a bunch. The floorboards were pretty rusty. Here's the story.

 
   
Here is what we started with... Right side after removal. Main body support frame
was rusted away in all 4 locations.
Close up of right front. The big bar at bottom is
part of the car frame. The body frame was
above this.
   
Hard to see here, this is the rear body
support frame area.
  New left front frame member   Cole at work, fabbing the right front frame.
   
Right rear rust cut away.   Right rear frame mount   Another view...
   
Frame repaired, new sheetmetal installed.
The hole is for the body mount bolt.
A view of the front. Another shot of the same.
