Ok now, the tailgate...don't get me wrong, it's your own project so you choose at the end...but I must admit that, for the very first time, I don't like your choice.
I really don't like this "locker door like" tailgate.  |
No worries, ... you do know that is traditional hot rod tho? which is what im after.... louvers were a big fad as ugly as even i can admit they can be. I do like your embossed idea, a whole lot even. But im settled and I cannot imagine where to begin looking for someone to do that (press the stuff into the tailgate metal) and would be more concerned of the price to have it done. Seems they would have to make a "dolly" for it and I cannot imagine paying for that for just a single part. If I were mass producing kits, then maybe. But IM a garage junky... everything you see is done by me, made, (sometimes thrice to get it right lol), etc and nothing is purchased other than raw materials... having said that, that embossed idea is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay outta my league....
as far as the louvers, I doing more.... and am looking to get a few more strips to put into the hood as well... (ack!) lol..
