Building a Chevy Tailgate Bench! VOTE ON THE COLOR CHOICE! - 05/10/19 05:58 PM

Ok so I acquired a 1970 chevy c10 tailgate. I'm going to make another bench like the Ford one I made as you see below.

Below the Ford bench picture is the picture of the Chevy tailgate in its current condition.

Vote on what color the tailgate will be!

Keep in mind, I will be ruffing up the paint a bit when finished to get the patina look!

Thanks for voting!

Leave it as is... WAY more character.

Agreed, natural camo. You should put two big hand prints on the back of the ford tailgate to make it more realistic.

I have a 1997 Dodge 3500 rear bumper you can have free if you want it. It does have a dent... otherwise heavy chrome.

That's nice work Squisher, very cool.

I'm guessing the approximate weight to be "Oh God!! I think I tore something!!".
