## Abstract

A Rust Repair Frame Rail Kit for left or right side for the model year 79-93 Ford Mustang. They are position from the firewall to the front radiator support. They are cut out of 12 and 14 gauge metal with a PlasmaCam System then bent to form the part. The frame rail includes; front frame rail channel, inter bumper support, inter tow hook support, sway bar mount and saddle, top cap over front top of frame rail, crush tube and plate, inter strut tower plate and the rear saddle. All pieces are placed in the frame rail in the proper position and welded in to make a complete replacement of damaged frame rails. Holes are in the proper position for mounting the existing components back into the original location for reassembling.

## Claims

### Claim 1

The Rust Repair Kits are designed to replace the rusted frame rails that are a problem with the era of Mustangs. So many of the cars are destroyed because of the rust and not having the replacements available until now. I have received comments that I have saved an era of Mustangs and have saved several from being crushed by designing and manufacturing the rails. To the best of my knowledge no one has made a replacement or can get them thru Ford.
I feel that I have a good design and have used material that is comparable to the OE style. We mad them as kits so an individual can measure and fit as close to original as possible.
I'm an individual inventor that would like to be protected from other designers that could copy the idea. We would like to increase manufacturing and to succeed.
