Thats awesome.

Very Cool! Truck is going to be awesome when it's done.

That looks cool!

Glad you guys think so.

That is awesome, a straight on "restoration" doesn't have shit on your build. Yours is all "Custom" thanks for sharing with the rest of us dreamers.

Why restore when you can customize

Very creative. Course that pretty much describes your whole build.

Whats the "pretty" mean??? are you saying I missed a spot??? Sorry man had to screw with someone it was all to nice......

I'm excited to see what is next.

Me too!!!...................................... oh duh, you were talking to me. dam ok I'll go get back to work.

You definitely have skills. Something tells me that tailgate is heavy.

 

[FoPAR]

thanks, and yes but they were built kinda heavy in the first place. The new panel only adds 5 pounds so not a big deal.

That is very nice work on the gate. Looks great!

So the tailgate mods are going well. I really like the way it is turning out. I finished welding up the patch panel were the stamped "FORD" was. It is welded on the inside and the outside, so that should help with sealing it from water and stuff. I also put down a good 3 coats of weldable primer on the underside of the new panel and in the empty space in the tailgate now.

The panel is now tacked on and all is well so far.... no waves or anything in the panel yet from the heat.

Just trying to take my time and not rush it. I wanted a smooth tailgate but didn't want to give up the the old school look of it and I think that this does both.
