I really took advantage of the weather and got some more work done this weekend. I printed out the paper mockups for the frame reinforcement and was able to confirm fitment of the parts. The lower section took a little back and forth to get the right shape, and I'm still not sure.
@White Stripe, did you box in the lower section to meet the bracket or is that just flat plate? As for cutting them out, there's more to come soon with

There was still some daylight left so I cleaned up the frame sections with a wire weel and sprayed the overlapping sections with some weldable primer to prevent rust between the overlapping layers. I took the opportunity to get the welder dialed in and practiced welding with the weldable primer on the scrap frame pieces. After getting it to a good setting I tacked the frame back into place before I ran out of time for the weekend. As long as the weather cooperates, I should be able to confirm alignment and get the final placement wrapped up in short order.
