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

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.

[Steve Kelly]

I had one day off last month,will send pics as soon as I have time.

[Steve Kelly]

heres the first drug auction car I bought,it still had the paper tag so he didnt have time to tag ithttp://

[Steve Kelly]

heres the second one It had front end damage and I had to repaint it,I also put the wheels on this onehttp://

[Steve Kelly]

Heres one I bought that was hit on the front,It was dark green.I put the ground effects,wheels and painted it a Mazda 6 yellow.http://

[Steve Kelly]

This is my old trailer puller and,it was a theft recovery that was stripped and a two tone blue,that is a newer Chevy blue I painted http://

[Steve Kelly]

The newest one is a Toyota Solara,I dont have pics and not sure what changes she will get,it is silver and will post pics as soon as I take some.

[Steve Kelly]

heres a ElCamino I painted for a guy,It was all Blk and this two tone is what we came up with.We put ground effects on the sidehttp://

hey i like the idea and styling i was thinking about cutting the back out of a truck do and welding the cab to the frame in the same way u did and ad seats in the middle with 8 grade bolts to the bottom of the seat and to the frame with a few 2 foot long 1/2 chains on a roller system the seat flies back and when i stop fast it would fly forward do u think that would be legal or would i have to get a sub or a blazer

[Steve Kelly]

here is a 1985 6 series BMW I bought with light front end damage,I also repainted .The wheels were on it when I bought it.http://

[Steve Kelly]

heres what it looks like with the 90 tail gate,with a big gap on each sidehttp://

[Steve Kelly]

Ive hit a sticking point on finishing the inside,and had a friend who does alot of metal work come by and look at my project to see what the next step will be.So I should be back on it and will take pics as It moves on.Thanks for looking.
Steve

[Steve Kelly]

here is what the 68 tail gate looks sitting on the back of the Roadster,I was able to pull the sides in to close the gap to make the welding easier.

[Steve Kelly]

Still not sure about a bumper or roll pan on the back,what do you guys think?I was going to close the tail lights in and find a led strip to put across the back.Anyone know who sells these?

[Hart_Rod]

That looks "MUCHO BETTA!"

I think it would look better with chrome in the back. No roll pans.

[onlyifihadachevy]

i agree, that with a little chrome in the back would look better, too much of one color looks bad. that's my (don't know how to spell it).

[litebulblsc]

I think that red blazer with stock style tail lights would look amazing.

[scatesracing]

Steve, I like the stock lights and the tailgate for sure if not the lights..... but I am a big fan of the roll pan..... But it is your truck it dosnt matter what any of us think..... I cant wait to see it done... I need to swing by and see it close up

[Steve Kelly]

I am replacing the floor pans and kick panels on both sides,had to have some pieces made to replace the rusted inner plates behind the kick panels will post pics soon.

[Steve Kelly]

heres what it looks like with the pass floor out

[Steve Kelly]
