Cobra Trailer-Replacing front panel

I am going to start a project soon to replace the front lower panel and one of the corner brackets on a late 90s Cobra trailer. The trailer had been repaired (but not all that well) from a minor accident long before I bought it and it and I managed to dent the thing last season (Don't ask). Ive collected all the parts, Thanks to Noelle and Williams Soaring I have collected all the parts and I have a pretty good idea on how to proceed. If any of you have done a panel replacement before and care to comment I would like to hear from you.
At the same time I am going to address the brake strut issue while I have the tongue removed. Mine is completely worn out to the point where it is difficult to back up. I have talked to Williams and the factory and Cobra has said that the strut "should never need replacing" (Now if we could just build gliders and tow planes out of the same material). I have found a few different parts diagrams and I am not sure which one applies until I tear into this thing. I will take lots of pictures and for those of you with the same brake issue hit me up at the convention and I should have some headway on this project by then.
Thanks
