Man....just cut the thing in half with a good fine tooth saw okay? now step two, use a dremel tool to grind out the dihedral brace. wont take more than an hour all together........even ifn ya move slow. Use yer parts template like dude says, and cut a new brace. Done. thats the easiest , simplest, best thing, that i could thonk of. In terms of money, work, and still havin fun! Dont sweat it, we all do stuff like that. I pulled my masking off my stuka canopy the other day, to find that I had not painted the silver dash! GASP! oh well......
