So I got the frame back from the blasters, and they did a terrible job. I spent two hours scraping and wire wheeling to get ready for paint and welding.
Then I found this.

Yes, that "hair" hanging off those pieces is welding wire, not really weld. I assumed someone added this as extra supports for the chain tensioners for the T-20.
I broke them both off with pliers without much resistance.
I fixed em.

Fixed some cracks in the frame as well, and also fully welded all joints.
Tomorrow I'll be cutting and fitting all the support material for the portal boxes.
