45 Tailgate, where are the welds?

[45Kevin]

Got a few pieces of cruiser goodness from @Awl_TEQ a few days ago and now have a complete new tailgate.
But it is in pieces and i will need to assemble it.
I will be salvaging the stiffeners from my original tailgate.

Does anyone have a pic of an assembled but un-
painted tailgate?
I'm looking to see where/how many welds I am going to need to do.

There is also some seam sealer on my original rusty tailgate. I'm assuming it is stock.

Plenty of pics in the thread...
Curious why you would reuse the original stiffeners when it looks like they make new ones?

The stiffeners weren't available and mine will work with a sand blast and a hammer to straighten a few minor bends.
I'll be using the old, but solid hooks as well.

Thanks for the link. Exactly what I need.
