Bob:
The frame appears to have been repaired at some point, which is
what the brass "solder" is. It is called "brazing" (sp?) and uses
acetylene and a rod of brass. IT is much stronger than solder, and uses
a much lower heat than welding. Given that the metal is very thin, this
avoids warping the frame.
The egg crate is anodized aluminum as I recall.
I used POR to paint my frame. Pretty amazing stuff, as long as
the underlying metal is grease free.

Two questions for the List: is that
brass solder on the grill frame corners in the pictures and what kind of
metal is the egg crate part of the grill made of?
My Nissan differential is also moving along and can be seen here
