I like it! Good job recycling. Makes me wish I had a old tailgate laying around.

Nice Kevin, real nice! They are all the rage now.

Last fall I sold a Studebaker tailgate to this guy: Services

Check out his price for the Studebaker bench! You saved yourself a lot of money.

That gate is better than any of the ones I have that I am trying to rehabilitate to a useable condition.....and you (with all the parts in America) made a bench out of it..... (does look Purdy good though!)

Very nice work. I made a coat hanger out of some barn wood and old school door ***** the other day, doesn't even come close to that bench though.

Very nice! I just happen to have an old tailgate. I already thought of some type of shelf or bench. The emblem really tops it off!

So THAT'S what I've been hanging on to this dinged up old tailgate for all these years! Looks great!

I liked the emblem too, I think the next one I will put a 1956 license plate there.
I removed an old deck a few years ago and saved all the deck wood. I have a lot of short pieces that worked perfectly for this.
