Have welded it. but it isn't gonna last a couple of years. as the chassis is rotten and has been welded for at least 75% of it's lenght on both bottom rails and about 50% on both outer rails Plus several patches on the inner rails. Not including the patches that were put on today, When I bought it I had to have a new front chassis leg welded in and it's recently had a new rear crossmember. There really is very little of the original chassis left.
Think I might have to start a JustGiving page. If some Lazy Bone Idle Student can get peeps to sponsor him to rebuild his own Fender I'm sure I can do the same to buy a noo chassis.
