Project Datstang

[Bory]

 

So I had to drill the bed for the fuel fill hose, so I 1st dropped a plumb bob from the ceiling to the center of the fill tube coming off the tank, then I set the bed into position and again dropped the plumb bob, and hole sawed the mark.

And as you can see it's pretty close to center

That's pretty damn crafty.  :thumbup:

Thanks boys!

Here's the between the the bed and tank shot.

I have a raised area I had to do above the axle of about 4", that's where the condenser is gonna sit, on the shot of the birds eye view on the tank fill, that small area will have a wood floor raised to flush out the area of the condenser tray. I got this sweet polished fill cap, that will flush mount in the finished wood.

So I had a buddy break this tailgate out at his sheet metal shop, out of 16 gauge,

What do you guys think, traditional, top pic or here, more of a custom look?

[mrbigtanker]

I like the top better, and can't he hang the skin lower to hide the hinges.

He would have to notch the bed floor for the gate to swing in/under the hinge barrels if the gate goes down past the barrels.

The time you have spent on the details shows!  What a well thought out project.  I can not wait to see what you do in the wiring department.
