Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
I dunno, maybe a motorcycle mirror might be a cheaper option, according to how they could be installed. $68.27 each. From motoleather.com.

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
You'll note the upper cab support slightly shows....it will be ground down so that it won't be seen if someone leans down level with the truck at a show

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Here's the concept for the tailgate panel...all molded into the gate of course...not applied to it like it looks in the picture...
I'm not going to paint the lettering a different color...I want it there, but want it to be somewhat subtle as well...

Alot of what I'm doing are things that people have done before but I am trying to do some things differently and come up with a clean overall look for the truck that is smooth without being completely shaved...and simple with a little bling and detail here and there ![]()

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
I love the tailgate insert! I have been known to do a "govament" job in my time too. I have built countless custom chevy parts on vertical machines similar to what you used to cut yours. We just ordered a new 5 axis machining center. I can't wait to see what fun parts we can make on it. (when production slows of course). I really like your project.

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Interesting idea on the tailgate insert - should set it off pretty well from the others that you see everyday.
