Thanks

I do have another 10 tailgates in production, I have been dragging my feet a bit in order to get a plastic lid option going. And in the middle of that, my welder bit the dust! I am back up and running now with a new welder (and a plasma cutter, just 'cause it was so cool)

And, I have been getting parts made for variations of the 1/4s. They are much more custom that the tailgates. So far I have had to design around the presence or lack of:
Rear seat belts
Speakers
Washer bag
Vinyl wheel well trim
Cable opening gas door
Expansion chamber
Interior plastic trim (I think I've got it to work with either in this case)
Most of these things change the outer profile, but between the 60 and 62 the entire door assembly has to change to accommodate the seat belts.


So I have been making progress on that front, but the holiday season combined with getting our truck all spiffed up for a road trip on the 1st has slowed things up quite a bit. (that part is selfish, I know )

I have also been trying to make a website to put all this info on, that way I can have a Mud banner add that will actually link to something. This whole thing is getting kinda serious, and I don't want to be a forum free-loader.


I should post this over in the for sale thread as an update, and I think I will have euclid move that thread to the "Merchandise Storefront" section.

Good job!
Post away, this is all public info.
I am a bit confused though, what is the thread? Perhaps it is not loading properly on my browser, but it just looks like the opening page of the forum?
