Rusty Frames: the frame-repair plan
A plan for a specialty shop repairing rust-damaged truck frames, with inspection-station referrals and a pilot proposed before any franchise push.
- For
- Entrepreneurs testing specialty frame-repair shops
- Worth noticing
- The page lists 40 Pennsylvania and 40 New York stations, but reports that none have been called yet.
Field notes
The page separates knowns from open questions: it cites Pennsylvania and New York inspection rules, says referral demand is untested, and notes that stations have no financial reason to fail more vehicles. Its proposed sequence starts with calls to 20–30 stations, followed by collecting job figures and documenting a repair procedure before forming an entity. The pilot would test three to five welders; any franchise decision comes later, after operating numbers. Legal and manufacturer-policy questions are explicitly left for counsel.
