Progress

Was able to dedicate a little time between "Real" work yesterday. Got the two mounting plates cut out and drilled. 

This took a little longer than I expected being that the tabs are 1" thick. 

Brackets drilled

Once I mocked everything up I realized that these brackets were going to need to be welded together towards the tops of the down turned bends. No big deal, and when I go to mock them up for final assembly, it will be a lot easier.
