Shaving the tailgate
I decided to shave my tailgate...because I dont have nothing better to do, and I wanted to get even more experience with welding, and blending paint (i've never blended paint before). I started saturday and have been working on it a good bit yesturday and today. I didn't want to spend the money to get a relocator plate and filler plate, so I made my own. I didn't get any pics while making the relocator plate, or welding in the filler plate I made, so this is what I have...the filler plate is all welded in and the emblem holes are welded up.

screw a roll pan, you might as well drive around with no bumper at all..
think about it, you get hit, whats there to protect the frame and everything else under the roll pan?
thats right, nothing.
on topic, thats going to look really nice when its done, but if i remember correctly, you shouldn't have filled it all the way in with weld.
