Structural repair and "call a pro" guidance for this region
Frame or major-component replacement pushes toward salvage/rebuilt inspection; ordinary rust patching usually is not a titling trigger, but MS and LA's official documentation is thin.
Frame and load-bearing welds belong with a professional. Have structural work done or
inspected by a qualified welder before you present the vehicle for titling.
Call your state office directly if you're in MS or LA - official guidance on the conversion/inspection process is genuinely thin for both.

Titling, inspection, and repair rules for converted buses vary by state and change often, and this page is general information, not legal or engineering advice. Structural rust, frame, and welding repairs affect the safety of a vehicle you and others will ride in - confirm current requirements directly with your state DMV/DOT, and for any frame or load-bearing repair, have the work done or inspected by a qualified professional welder or shop before you drive or title the vehicle.
