Next little bit was hinge brackets for the tailgate. Got them made and tail gate hung. I think I'm gonna cut the heads off the bolts and weld them into the lower hinge. I used the stock holes but the bolts are really too close to the sides. The bolts are barely turnable. Also it would look cleaner if no bolts showed on the lower hinge brackets............ What do you think?

Also, side note. As you might notice in the bed is a pedal car. I'm redoing for my Grandson, Bubba. His birthday is the 15, and he will be 5. I completly rebuilt steering and drive, and put those no flat 10" tires on it. It had plastic wheels and steering linkage. Now the axle stubs are made from 47 Ford F1 steering shaft. It has ball bearing in the steering column. Heim joints for tie rods, donated from a junior dragster, and it's all adjustable and greasable........... 33 was my last car number.
