got rid of the red panel!!!

[Longhorn Man]

Or maybe I should title it project wrong way... project down grade... i dunno.
Some of you will remember the very very very nice tailgate i put on the longhorn... razor straight, awesome original paint, one small hole from a small caliber handgun... otherwise perfect.




Well, after the longhorn turned into my beater, and not the project, I began to treat it like an old truck. And that had me scared crapless about this real nice tailgate. I'd be taking scrap to the recyclers, and they'd be afraid to unload my truck... more work for me.
I don't like that.
Well, it happened. I damaged the nice gate.
Made me sick to look at the dent. It's minor... but that's one step further from perfect.
Not to mention... in all reality, this old thing isn't worthey of the nice gate.
So... for 25% MORE than what I paid for the nice gate....
enter, the brand-used gate.
It's even the right color... even if it is the rare 67/68 gate and my truck is a 70... awww hell, my truck is a chevy though!




How many of you thought I was talkin about the red door on the burb? !!!!!!
