Update: I went home for a few days and finished the frame as well as electrical. I think I will put two straps from the trunk lid to the bottom member about 10" from the end of the tail to give more support. After using rivets and bolts I now see the huge benefit a weld joint would have on stiffness. Since there is still some pivot play in the large X I will have to put a lashing around it to stop any rotations and will hopefully weld it when I can get to my grandpa's place. I plan to start the skinning process on the 14th of August when I finally get done with school.
