I bet he may do the dolly for you so you can paint your trailer.  My brother says he is a pretty cool guy.

So I am going to take it that you did the repair from the outside?  Looks like you just cut the back of it out since the motor and drive are still installed.

yep.the only part that was bad was on the rt side.so i cut the outside out and just replaced the outer part.it wasnt that bad yet but it was pretty wet on the lower part..i also reinforced the seams where the hull was put togeather.my steering rams were malikng it split a little.i will put some plates behine the rams this time and maybe solve that problem.when they put the vin plate on they didnt seal it good and water seeped in after the years and got the wood wet

I thought you were going to go with an enclosed engine hatch?  Were you going to mold that up yourself?
