Lines #9 Sliced Through!

As I waited for my car pool to arrive this morning, I studied this piece to determine what it needed, and I may be getting somewhere. Before I left the house, I had sliced it verticially along one of the lines, overlapping the freed right side over the left, eliminating one of the lines. Now I'm thinking of slicing again, this time, changing the width of the thicker line in the mid-area. I definitely do not like the silver couching on the right, and that will be removed. I still do not know why I should continue with this piece. Now it looks like a greasy engine rag to me. At last evening's mini group meeting I was encouraged not to give up on it, so I'm complying, but it's tempting to toss the rag in the appropriate container.
