Myth: A straight-looking frame means the restoration is ready to assemble. Reality: Straightness is measurable; hidden cracks at the steering box or rear rails can still exist until you photograph and dimension them. Myth: Replacing body mounts is optional if the doors look aligned. Reality: Soft bushings lie about alignment and will open gaps, so you must inspect and replace every mount for confidence. Myth: Seam sealing is only needed for aesthetics. Reality: Proper seam sealers keep moisture from working into the frame cavities and ensure painted panels don’t hide leaks. Myth: Fuel tank work can wait until after the frame is finished. Reality: Corroded tanks and lines warp the underside of the frame, so the fuel system is part of the structural checklist. Myth: Any body repair will look good as long as the paint is fresh. Reality: Panel gaps and reproduction bodies need precise fitment; the real standard is uniform gaps that match OEM tolerances, not just paint sheen. Separate myth from reality when it comes to the most important part of your vintage 4x4 restoration: the frame.
