March 13, 2020 update:
I have it all back together and ready to test fly. I have not completed the fairings on the landing gear, but I have a plan! I was all ready to get some plywood ribs cut to glue to the struts and then wrap the lower strut with fiberglass wing skin (.010 " thick). and then use aluminum sheet for the upper cover. That would have worked out OK, but would be time consuming work... Then I got the idea to 3D print them! I have a 3D printer, so I am now finalizing the two sizes so the will telescope together, and then I will mount them on the landing gear sturts. Hopefully I will get it mostly done over the weekend and be able to post the results here.
