Every time I go to Costco in mine I and have to reach over the tailgate to load/unload I think about doing that (not a fan of barndoors).
Maybe I'll have to be the guinea pig on that one since you pioneered this one  |
I thought about that, but at this point I don't want to back up. Have you thought about making it open from the side and bottom like the caprice wagons? (pics below) That would be pretty sweet!

If I can ever get this thing running, then get the clutch taken care of so it's rolling, first trip I'm taking is to see the parents down in FL, and your place is "almost" on the way 
In all seriousness, do any of the panhandle/FL members get together with the AL and MS members for meets, camping trips or anything like that? |
Give me a call when you're headed down. There's a weekly cruise in on Sat night at one of the Burger King's, but that's about it.

I got the drivers side filler piece made for the tailgate. Should have it welded in tomorrow.....
