Re: Project "Bagging Rights"

And here is the final fit. I'm really happy with it, tailgate opens/closes smoothly, lines up well. Put about 12 hours of work into the rear bumper :blam: Bumper was narrowed almost 2", raised up about 1", pushed in towards the body 1.5", about 1.5" sectioned off the sides.Bolt holes all filled and plate tub welded in. And its got a plate light too.

Lookin good.Waiting to see what method you do for bed & tailgate trim.Also waiting to see your side exit pipes. Personally I like using 316 or 304 ss & mirror polishing it rather than chrome, no good chrome places near me.

I'm still waiting to see what i do about the trim too, :lol: I don't know yet.

So I was feeling all good about getting this door done, until I realized that I burned the window when I welded the mirror holes. I guess that just makes it more hotrod, right? :rofl:

Anyways, progress is good.

The line on the door is just sunlight.
FYI, doing these doors by yourself sucks. they are super heavy.
