Tailgate on a '54 Panel update

Got back from Royal Kustoms to find I now have a finished one piece tailgate on the Kart,Jim even radiused the corners.With the help of some rather HAMB unfriendly gas struts she'll open remotely,so the back end can stay as klean as it looks now;



klick on this;





Inside;



And with the help of some 4mm bead and some lead,the door gap after removing the driprail has gone from this;



to this;





thats it,bodywork DONE!!! Next week FLAAAAAAAAKE.
