I just picked this up today and know very little about it, I know it is a wayne 50 showcase but did they take the bottom and bring it up to shorten or did they remove the bottom. Any help will be much appreciated.

at one time someone welded a plate with a ring on it, probably to load, I am guessing.

Right now I am trying to figure out whats missing and what the cost would be to finish, If it;s to much or I cant get the parts then it will most likely be for sale.

It is a 50-A. The 50 looks different. I looks like the show case paet was cut out and that is how they shortened it.

That helps alot, so the motor assy. goes at the bottom, now I see what I need. Do all 4 doors open or just the side ones
