I have elected not to go with the sheet metal leaving the trailer with just the plywood, however I am going to primer the trailer and put a couple of coats of protecting paint on the wood.

I have a gaped seam that runs from front to back about 3/4 way up on the trailer that I plan ou using liquid nail to fill in with. The 2X4's are in place and are working great. I have found that the liquid nail bonds so well that there is really no need for the 2X4's but they were needed to hold both pieces of ply together. I have the door frame welded in place and the door it self cut. I will continue the work early next week.
