The only thing I can think of is the alloy content in the tailgate is different. I'm not a metalurgist, but I've had that problem on some new cars. YOu are using new pins right? I've tried to reuse pins and for the most part it doesn't work. The tips get contaminated. Try grinding the tips down just a little and see what that does, just curious. If you do cut out the damaged area are you hammering it into shape and welding it back in? As long as it is not rusted.

i think I am goin to re skin it..well I am goin to cut out the chevrolet. then move it to the outside then skin it so i looks kinda like a new tailgate. but with the old letters

Re: My 1965 build thread
 
if i cut it out I think i could just fab a whole new bottom using pipe for the curve and just brake at the two seams. would be stroger and clean

An old man told me to try to learn 2 things a day. It doesn't seem like much , but add that up over a lifetime. The problem is I forget 3 things a day.

I was going to say that too, but I didn't. :lol:

That's to funny. I was just using my stud gun and I was having a hell of a time getting it to stick to the new metal I welded on. It worked good on the orginal door metal but on the new stuff I had to hold the trigger forever. I did get it to stick but it was a pain.:metal:

I was hoping someone would chime in that knew exactly why they won't stick.

I appreciate it alot. :metal:

Didn't get much done over the weekend. Sdailey came over and helped finish sanding the cab and taped up some of it. I finished modifying the cab lift bar so it will go a little lower and finished taping it up.

As the lift goes up and down it will tear the plastic some. I will just have to patch it as I go. I'm hoping to get it at a good height so I can paint the bottom pretty easy.

:haha: X4

Got the outside of the doors painted as well as the cab. I'll get the two tone done soon. Then set the cab on the frame and hang the doors and hope and pray they line up.

Thanks Joe, that's the plan. Advertising has to catch the eye. All I'll need then is a bunch of Hooters girls around it. :lol:
