Just started a new Cooker a couple days ago.
I cut and burned the drum. Then had to bang it around and cut a little more to get it to close back up. I'll get the sides on then add some corner braces to keep it square.
I still don't have the lid assist or catch figured out.
The grate will be just above the front lip so I can slide it out on the tracks about 15" and reach the chicken quarters without an eyeball full of smoke. The rear of the grate will be split right and left, and have a cut out to grip and it will cantilever over the front grate to get to the rear of the grate within reach. When the rear is raised up I could add some drop in grates so I could keep the taters up top and the quarters below. All will lay flat for whole hog.

I got a little further today. Next step is to mount it to the trailer. I want to see where it sits on the trailer before I brace the lid too much. How the bottom sits may rack the lid to one side or another. Also I want to level the cooking grate after it's on wheels.
