    What is the best way to add a sheet metal skin to a frame

    Take a look at Henkels transportation adhesives. Call the rep on the phone and tell them what you want to do, they're super helpful and have hundreds of different adhesives for bonding metal. Under shear the strength is amazing. No reason for fasteners in most applications.

    Bendpak MD6

    Shouldn't be any thing special to rebuild. Its $800 so even if a rebuild cost a couple hundred bucks should still be a decent price.
