it's fun to have sticky hands

I'm on a shaving spree....tonite my father and I, through some great difficulty at one stage, relocated the tailgate handle from the standard location to the inside of the bed in preperation to shave the 'gate. I'll probably make a filler panel and weld it and the emblem holes up tomorrow...then onto the body work. Given the small area and simple shape, it shouldn't take me too long at all to get the tailgate done...only problem is, that I've run out of primer, so I won't be able remount the gate until I get it in primer, wouldn't want it to rust and all. And, I might add, we didn't use no stinkin' $40 relocator kit bought from some company...we did the measuring, cutting, and mounting ourselves, and I'll make my own filler plate....big companies be damned!

I'm thinking of also shaving the taillights and running LEDs...but that's a little too common, espically on show type trucks. I'm thinking of going with neons, like what's gonna be on the '66, but I'm thinking that they might be washed out in the sun, and that's no good. I'm thiking that shaved taillights and LEDs is treading too far into show territory for this 'daily driver'.
