C60L tailgate fabrication

[Harry Moon]

The arrow heads are purposeful and very close to originals. The arrow can negotiate the openings and sort of cam the tailgate shut as you rotate it down.
Chains are pretty much the same as the originals on the other truck
Yes the winch works as in another video I posted, currently set it up to go to the front so its hard to catch a glimpse of it in the pictures. I've used up what I could of the gallon of POR15 that i had, pocking holes into it to try to hit liquid paint. I swear you can bond a tank together without welding with that stuff, the lid will never come off, EVER, if you get paint in the lip.

Very nice work, Harry.

two more years until my wife retires, I don't know what she will have me doing then, she has plans....

I only buy quarts now.......use what I need then pour out into a canning jar...... I try to leave very little air space inside before screwing the top I put half of a zip lock bag between the ring top and the glass..... in some cases I had to peel the screwed ring with pliers......

...and never pour POR into a foam cup for a small job....... the cup bottom will melt before the job is done and really make a mess......

Got a link to the video of using the winch??? Never used mine but plans are to install a lighter 1/2 cable for more flex and longer cable...... I have some almost new 3/4 inch cable from a tow truck but it is stiff as h%^$....

Cheers

Buddy came over today and we talked about the hinges, his opinion is that theseareavailable at leafspring shops and also could be made from the ends of old leaf springs. food for thought
