progress from this weekend
here is the progress rom this weekend. tailgate, lights, and custom farication of the tralier hitch. the tailgate was purchased at east coast kaiser in ct. it had quite a warp to it. a 1.5 x 1.5 continuous angle was welded to the bottom and acted as a straightening bar. we clamped it in about 6 places and tack welded it for now. the hinge fingers on the tailgate we all messed up. some quick persuasion with the blow torch and a 4 pound hammer moved them back into place. homemade pins from 7/16" rod stock with a drilled out nut on one end and a jesus pin on the other.
