The Damage:

"uni-frame" is completely split open at the bottom inside edge, where the trackbar was mounted.

Motor mount barely attached, see the vertical cracks up both sides of the mount

There is another vertical crack and buckle in the inside vertical plane of the frame about 8" rearward of motor mount.

Frame is caved in at the bumpstop contact points.

I'm going to weld up all the cracks and plate the whole area (inner plane and bottom of the rail) with 1/8" plate, tied into the 10 gaguge that is already plating the outer part of the rail. I hope there is enough "good" metal there to attached the plates, that is just a few layers of sheet metal.
