Finding a Suitable Frame

[warmachine5500]

I have already worked my way up the frame rails with a hammer and 1 foot long steel punch with a 1/4" tip. I've chipped out alot of scale this way and this is how I found the drivers side rear spring mount area was just as bad as the passenger side. It hadn't ripped through yet, but the punch went right through it. For the sake of being thorough I will check again where the front spring mount joins the two frame halves.
