Rusty tailgate work

[Select]

I have 2 fleet gate I'm making into one. The one that looks less abused is actually the worst, the one from the 71. The bottom half of it had been rusted out and bondo put on top of that. I have the one from the 72 that is a little beat up but solid I'm using as a donor. I won't have time to work on it tomorrow because I have to go to a continuing education class. I went to the welding supply store and bought everything that it takes to convert my weld pack 100 flux core welder to a shielded mig running .023 wire for body panels. I'll get the internals Wednesday with the rest of the stuff I ordered for the 68 not long after that.
