No problem at all, once your box is bolted to the trailer the bending and twisting pretty much ends. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info re getting 1" angle--Kerry, Madjack. Next question--I know their is a drill bit for drilling holes in metal that leave a beveled hole in the metal so that the screw is recessed--what is that called? Wanna make just one trip to Home Despot!

Uni-bits, Chrismas Tree bits, or whatever they are called are great for drilling metal. I've found that they do leave a burr on the backside though. Not a big deal, I just hit it with a counter sink or a large size drill bit and it comes right off.
