Evening guys. New member, new project. We acquired an L4 project over the winter and have been slowly stripping parts off to get the fuselage blasted. Had nice weather in Illinois today and hit the tail section to get an idea on what condition the fuselage is really in which uncovered some problems. As seen in the pictures, the corrosion has resulted in pitting and some sections failing the punch test. There are some longerons that are bent near the tail as well.

Does anybody have any references for someone in the midwest regions that has a jig and can perform the required repairs? Open to suggestions from others that have been down this path
