Yeah, I made the pattern at work yesterday, then traced it onto 1/4" plate last night. But I got so into the teardown of the rest of the frame that I never got them on last night! Either tonight or tomorrow night I will finish grinding the welds and install the fish plates. I think now that the frame is just bare rails, I might lay the frame on it's sides to weld in the plates. I think the welds will look better that way, rather than trying to weld upside-down and stuff
