Split Window VW Bus Frame Patch — Heater Tube Crossmember Repair Section, Laser Cut

The frame around the heater tube crossmembers is a known rot spot on a split-window Bus: it traps moisture, it is hidden until the day you get under there, and it is structural. This is a laser-cut, exact-fit repair section in the correct gauge steel — cut the rot out, weld this in, and the frame goes back to its factory profile with the heater tube cutout where it belongs.
