    No way... I can't wait to see how it turns out! That's really gutsy, but then again, I'm no fabricator.

    After some love smacks with the body hammer it starting to look like something. (I don't know what)
    Filled in old taillight holes and sectioned tailgate. Also relocated tailgate latch to inside.

    This would be an awesome idea for those that haul 5th wheels.
    A good bit of go fast goodies helping power a p-pumped 12 valve all running through a badly slipping auto.

    Don't tell anyone! I told my mom I was playing the piano in a whore house! She would be pissed if she knew I was a pipeliner.
