I have my doubts about your drop out - have you used that type before? My feeling is that under load you'll bend that piece of angle meaty as it is of deform the hole you've bolted through although I'd be happy to be wrong. I asked because I'm thinking of something similar for my next generation trailer. Instead of angle I was going to use square tube and run the bolt/axle through both walls of the tube so the cantilever is supported across a longer distance.

I have sprayed my wooden panels grey and im waiting for the varnish to dry before bolting it all together and sealing it.
