Oh no tail gate will still function, just a little old school smooth out. And if you look close the dark blue lines is what gets cut out. Now that the bed is sitting correctly on the frame to match the upper body lines he will cut and re graft to make straight. Back side will look factory as well. Gas filler like the Chevys is in the bed floor now.
Thanks for the compliments. Most of those lines you see are just dangling. The 2 black lines are the e brake cables that they are running now. And yes no lines by heat as that was the case before. All well thought out and moving forward to complete back half. I want to do the whole truck now, But money money moneyyyyyyyyy. lol
