Welding Muncie broken ears... any suggestions???

[markjohnson]

Broken Muncie ears used to be such a common malady. Although I'm sure many would wish to remain anonymous, I'm sure many old-timer's on here are responsible for snapping off an ear or two! It's funny to think back how common Muncies were back then and how it was actually much easier to just find another Muncie for cheap than it was to find a good aluminum welder friend many years ago. If you were poor or maybe even a bit on the shady side, you just kept an eye out for a hot rodded '55-'57 Chevy as I knew guys that could snatch a Muncie out of one of these cars in just a manner of minutes because of their lack of a transmission crossmember!
