this runner wasn't to bad on the out side .. although it had been "fixed" once by someone else .
so if you have a "keeper" and are thinking of welding patches in .. have a close look at what might be lurking on the inside

Man I love your work. Too bad you're on the other side of the continent, I sure could use a set of quarters. Going to just have to do it the old fashion way I guess.

so Vince's original Tailgate was toast , and not worth repairing , so we needed to find a replacement .. finally found a "good" one . so now we can continue

damaged skin removed (was in an accident)
