Re: Tailgate why repl. When we've got mud

I've seen a lot of cars done with filler on wings,doors,tailgates....even on my own....sunroof and rear bumper trim for modified exhaust....Havn't had any problems myself.

I've seen holes been filled with lead,but is harder to level off.

As long you use a premium grade filler and follow mfg procedures you will have no problem on doors, gates.

It's like baking a cake , use the right steps and it wont flop.

Good call It belongs to a friend.
He was hit hard in the rear, trashed the bumper and tail gate I looked for 3 months for used but no luck. he needed the ins money for other things so I am helping him out . I replaced the bumper with a roll pan and he loved the look and it made the gate look worse so I agreed to fix it.

Nice bumper! Did you make it from scratch using sheet metal? Looks pretty good.

I can see the huge dent on the gate in this picture!!! Good call on fixing it.

The roll pan is fiberglass from A & A auto parts In Lemoyne Pa. A & A is owned by Joe Amoto the Drag racer He has a few parts stores.
