A friend of mine had this frame and the seat stays rusted off of it. My solution was to join them at the seat tube. The frame is trash, but if I can save it fine, and I don't have to put a lot of work into it. as long as it's functional.
You can see here what I had to work with.

I filed of what was left of the seatstays.

Then I cut off the rusted part of the seatstays

The tubes mitered and they are covered in flux ready to be brazed.

No jig? How did you get it all even? Eyeball?
I have a henry James Jig I kept the rear end straight in when I taked/tinned it, then I took it out and went for another round.
