C8 progress in Texas

[David DeWeese]

Hi,
More small parts had to me made from the rear body tailgate. I'm sure the original pieces were cast, but this was the best I could do with hardware store materials and normal shop tools.
The latch is kind of clever as gravity makes the pin get tighter as you wiggle the tailgate.
Doesn't look like much progress, but what you see is is the result of a day of trial-and-error fabrication.
Oh well, slow progress is better than no progress.
Thanks, David
