Bringing my truck to AutoRust in Rhode Island

My frame has a hole in it by the gas tank. A lot of people recommended Safe-T-Caps and welding it on myself. I have zero welding experience so I am not going to do that. I am deciding to bring it to the source itself...I made an appointment to bring my truck to Auto-Rust-Technician and have then weld on the caps needed. Has anyone done this at the actual place? I have heard only good things but wonder if anyone on here has done it. Thanks!

 

Just be aware that the frames generally rust from the inside out, so you more than likely have other rust in there too, and caps won't stop that from getting worse. The hole is just what has made it all the way through.

 

From most of my research and personal experience, they will cut out the frame sections that are suspect. When I did mine, I cut off the spring perches and parts of the frame that weren't solid, only leaving good steel to weld to, I would think the guys at autorust would do the same.

 

I believe that is true. Very aware of rusting from the inside out. I didnt pay anything for the truck and already put a couple thousand into upgrades so I would be willing to put another thousand into it to have it solid. I am pretty excited to see how they do.

 

If they'll let you take pictures of the progress that would be awesome (of course that means you'd have to take the time to stick around)

 

Im going to be dropping it off for the week. Im from NY and dont really want to take a week long vacation in Rhode Island lol (unless I got to Cape Cod maybe)
