SO here we are in my garage as that it got dark and the lights outside didn't work. Wish I had better lighting and a camera, but someone stole that.

Anyways, here I have the base reworked with some modifications, aka black tape, to try to help the stability issues. Also as you can see I cut down and reduced the length of the 3" coming from the trunk base. this did help a LOT with the stability issues. Though the pipe glue did not want to work well. I'm going to try to get some from work tomorrow which is a lot better than the blue stuff.
