tail gate post
« on: April 02, 2008, 04:14:55 am »
i donj't do body work i do airbrush and paint. but at least i can trade my ab for some body work..
anyway... just trying to get an idea how bad this is gonna be to pull out? i saw replacement metal on ebay for really cheap and i don't wanna get the wrong crap and end up with some generic with recycled sheet metal or anything.... i havent' gotten the post yet cause frankly i wanna make sure it's what i need. i'd like to replace a lot of the rot with new panels. but the only thing i really need is a ds inner fender and the battery support. truck's pretty much free of rot, some surface stuff that might have been repaired that needs re-repaired now. anyone's thoughts are welcome... thanks
