The PO apparently used the trailer to haul gravel (found pieces stuck in places). He even converted the tailgate into a bottom swing dump truck style. I've rectifyed that part, but the weight he carried apparently ballooned out the front and sides. For those that may have tackled this, how did you approach it? For the front, I was thinking about turning it upright on its tail, then using my Bobcat to put pressure on some lengthwise 4 by 4's. But a Bobcat doesn't really give me the smooth, precise, slow controlled push I rather use. Then the sides?

Search metal "shrinking" . . I had never heard of it before this year, but am amazed at how much "bow" can be taken out of a panel. I used acetylene torch for the heat.
