Yea, and the older I get, the faster it seems to fly.

Next up are the rear corner braces. They were still strong, but had a lot of rust and pits. I figured it would be easier and faster just to replace them. But after not being able to find any vender that carried them, I decided to just make them myself out of 14 gauge.
I transferred the holes from the originals onto a 1/4" thick steel hammer-form I made. Using the holes to bolt the form onto the 14 gauge kept everything from moving while I shaped the braces.
