I mounted the outer tailgate skin and corner gaurds tonight, I was going to try and cut the holes and mount the tail lights but I ran out of time. The plan is to paint the corner gaurds so they blend in with the rest of the body

I cut the holes and mounted the tail lights last night and cut out the top caps for the bed. I still need to drill the holes in the caps so I can mount them.

The fab work has been kind of slow lately, kids and work will do that, but I did manage to make up a set of tabs to hold my tailgate shut. I used 1/8 plate for the tabs and the stud is a 1/2 bolt cut and a hole drilled thru it so the linch pin can slide thru.
