got the bed done last night as far as custom work goes. lights and hidden tailgate latches

Taillights- a project for the mentall insane:
1. a tank of Argon for the 100's if not 1000's of spot welds on this thin metal
2. had to open a charge account at Lowe's down the street for all of the grinder discs, and sanding discs
3. Beer-well, luckily Bryan will drink the cheap stuff too!
4. and we thought welding up the hood seam was over the top, the taillights were definitely the craziest aspect of the build.
Most custom taillight application you have some room to work or the back is hidden inside a trunk or fender, this is about opening the front & back, installing closing both up, and there's no unused space inside those stake pockets.

WAY TO GO BRYAN!!
