what are your plans for the top of the windshield?

[Steve Kelly]

when i get the bed sides welded,I will take the top off.I have a Custom Classic Truck mag. that shows a windshield they did.I thought I would try to do mine the same.They cut it down and layed it back for the roadster look Im going for.

[Steve Kelly]

I had to brace the side more to hold the bottom of the bed.http://

Looking good, keep it up, we are here for ya!! I mean support, as I am not sure I'd start something like that. I could do it, but I am such a perfectionist, I'd spend every waking hour on it and quit my day job!! I am envious of you guys that do this in your "spare time" as I couldn't the amount of time and effort away from the kids, etc would be the end of my married life as I know it! Good work, looking forward to more picts!!

Waiting to find a decent tail gate to finish closing the back in

[Steve Kelly]

I found the sub is wider than a blazer,I will have to add on to the tail gate to make it fit the opening.It measures 68 1/8 after the bed sides were squared,so thats another small thing to deal with.Im welding it solid anyway so it shouldnt make any diff. just more bodywork.

[Steve Kelly]

The sub isnot wider than the blazer,I found a tail gate to get a measurment from and the opening is correct.I wont be able to use the 90 tail gate it is alot shorter than the older ones.I found one full of bondo so still looking,I would like to have the Chevrolet for the lower part to be in good cond. but may be hard to find.Maybe a louvered skin would work,anyone know where to find one?

I like the idea of a CHEVROLET gate, it would look better than louvers IMO

[Steve Kelly]

does anyone carry a Chevrolet tail gate skin?I will have to cut up a stock tail gate when i find one good enough to use.

Hi Steve,this is the first time I have looked at your post and you have quite a project going there.I have a tailgate from a 72 that the outter skin is in good shape but it is rusted through on the inside where the bed was full of leaves .I will take $60 for it if it will work for your purpose.I can even cut just the outter skin off with the top lip still on it to make it lighter to ship if interested.send me a pm if interested.can't wait to see it finished now that I've seen it.I saw one in truckin mag awhile back with the gate welded up solid and the laid back winshield.Bright red with a 67 or 68 front end and was a very cool looking roadster.keep at it and post some more pics.

Hey Steve . Rick across the street from you was building a shorty he may have some parts like a tailgate.... Or call Greg at G&W auto body if he dosnt have one his buddy Kreig "HI FI" will have one Travis

[Steve Kelly]

I found a tail gate for $30.00 with a little rust on the inside which I will cut off anyway.Thanks for the help on looking for one.I bought a car on the net that was a drug siezed auction,I will post pics as soon as I take some.This will be the 5th one so far and have had really good luck with them as far as condition and drivabilty.
