R50 Home Built Trailer

Though I would post some pictures of the trailer I built with a Harbor Freight trailer, Klien Tool Box and other materials from Home Depot. let me know if you see any improvements I can make.

Looks great but I would be concerned about the one-sided weight distribution; how does it ride?

I will be painting the trailer as soon as it stops raining in Houston, Weight is good to wobbles, drives straight the toll box is light and I sawzalled the legs off which was where most of the weight was. You can sleep inside the tool box if you want to be like Dracula.
