Default Core support ready for epoxy primer.
As I was prepping the core support for blasting using a wire wheel, I noticed this area was cracked:



That led me to check out the rest of it and I found some spot welds had broken loose and a couple of flanges the factory missed spot welding at all. Between that and the fact that one mount was completely rusted out, I'm sure the entire support was under a lot of stress.
Got the welder back out and got it all corrected.













Got it blasted today:
