Looking good!

I get nervous too whenever I make a cut that can't be undone. But hey, metal is easier than wood and way more forgiving.
It may be overkill, but I would suggest that you add a re-enforcement plate on the inside of the frame across the weld on the top and bottom.
I feel that is where the highest points of stress will be and the plates would be cheap insurance against cracks, etc..

I took a screen shot of your frame and drew on it to illustrate where I mean.

Glad to see updates from you, fair weather fox???
Just kidding of course, good to hear that you and the family are doing well.
I look forward to seeing you again at a show & shine ( hopefully )

Keep at it, push it to the goal line,
Steve
