how can I model side plates on the side of these tabs

how can I model side plates on the side of these tabs

I need help with modeling side plates/gussets (in red) on the side of each bent tab to strengthen them to model one set and pattern it to all of them. I have tried doing a sweep profile using the edge of the tab as the path and it doesn't work, creates bad geometry. Do I have to draw some sort of 3D spline and then do a sweep or some other kind of command/featrure? please help, thanks!
