Well we tag teamed the tail gate and it is done and ready for some light bodywork to finish it off. Here are a few pictures of the tailgate and what we did to beat the dents out of it.

actually im suprised you never heard of mis fits they are old news compared to what my generation listens to my generation is all about stupid rap cr@p! and i hate it!

Stubbs67 · 01-13-2011, 12:55 PM

I too dislike rap, I was born in 86 and still live there and into the early-mid 90's music wise. My friends think im bonkers for listening to "classic" rock all the time.

Nice job on the tail gate. I wish I had a garage... lol

67chevy1series · 01-13-2011, 07:48 PM

Stubbs67,
You dont know how many years I complained about working in my Attached 2 car garage before my Wife couldn't take my complaining anymore. She looked at me one day and said why dont we build a shop so you can restore cars like you want to. After I picked myself off the ground because I fell off my chair I called my buddy the escavator and started talking plans with him. The rest is history. I think the real reason my Wife said lets build a shop is because she bought a 2007 Acura TL Type S and she was afraid i would mess up her car doing resto's right next to her car in the attached Garage. I guess my Plan Worked.

Redneck72 · 02-20-2011, 01:51 PM

Now that my earlier post is out of the way. Why were you guys cutting squares into the tailgate? I would like to know so that I may catalog it away for future reference.

Apparently I complained enough, because I am getting a slab poured with my tax refund! W00T!

JRBECK64 · 03-09-2011, 07:35 PM

I feel like a Bear coming out of his Den. Ok now that I have shaken the winter blahs off I am going to go back to work on this old truck. Ok where do I start? Why did I cut holes in the back of the tailgate? Well it was the only way I could beat the huge dents out of the front of it from the backside. Now they are all welded back in and grinded down. Tailgate looks like new. Next I have been grinding on the bottom of the cab and undercoated it so it wont ever rust. My Oldest Son cleaned the firewall and painted it. I am going to marathon the bodywork and get this thing ready to paint come early Summer. You might say I took a little time off this thing as I was a little burned out after doing 5 complete resto's. But I am back and will try to keep you guys updated at least once a week.

Thanks for the Vote of Confidence. I just had a guy come over and look at My 67 GTO Convertible because I know that my Bodywork is just bad enough that I want someone else to do it. Being its going to be Black and those quarters are as long as a Long Bed Pickup with Compound curves amoungst Dips that I know when my abilities are not enough. Im going to have him do all the skimming and knockdown along with the high build and the sealer coat. So today my Son and I worked on the cab some more and its looking pretty good. I have some minor fine tuning to do to the skim coat before I shoot the High Build Primer. Its getting there.
