Today was spent brewing beer to keep the stockpile up and getting the first parts of replacement wood installed.

Good news is that it fit thankfully. Tomorrow will do the other side weather permitting. Also can start on the floor. This Ultra had 3 jacks. Where the right side was will need some work on the 1/4 round as well. It is less damaged but I plan to take it out to work on it over a form of sorts to get it all aligned before I rivet it back on.
The PO really cut up the jack mounts and I might as well make new ones. Any consideration to using 1/4 x 6" aluminum instead of steel? Weight would be 1/3 of steel and plan to go with all 4 corners.
