Thanks for the support quadzero. I'm in the process of painting the frame pieces right now. I've patched an welded up a few holes and voids on the front of the frame rails where I presume plow was attached then later cut off with a torch.

Once I'm done painting I'll be bolting everything back together with 3/8" grade 8 bolts. These fasteners will provide a stronger clamping force than the original rivets.
