Sorry I don't have any more pictures.  We ran out of time, daylight and energy.  The trailer is complete and ready to go for this weekends trip to Los Angeles.

Thanks so much to Gary and Bob Hale, Jerry Stillwagon, and Ernie Engles. With out your incredible effort we could never have completed this repair so quickly.  You guys rock!!
