I am just about to epoxy my chassis of my '48' whenI notice a small crack on front and backside of the front crossmember at the passenger side. They start at the edge where the member meets the rail and are about 1-2 inches in length. I have already drilled the end and ground out a V. What type of steel is this and should I braze or Mig. I have a little welding experience but it has been a while. What do you guys recommend?
