Good Thing I Can't Pass Up A Tailgate.

[yellaheep]

Grabbed a massively janky '89 4 banger 2wd MJ for $200.  Not much good on it except the back side......

 

Will be making a drop-down tail gate bench out of it.  :thumbsup:

New porch art.......

 

Reclaimed barn wood, intentional rough construction using old nails and screws, even a rusty old bottle opener attached.

I love the bumper. Are you going to use that too for the bench?

I hope that's sarcasm Don......:D

Good ideas for leftover parts laying around! Like the tailgate bench.

I am looking for a good tailgate in NY if anyone is close

Couple more.......

 

'50-something Studebaker.  The bed was complete garbage as was the body, but the tailgate was just good enough to convince me to pay $80.  After snatching the tailgate off of it, I visited a buddy who works at a body shop and loaded it up with the heavy bits from their scrap pile.  Only got $34 for the 1,700 lbs it all weighed.

 

 

 

 

 

$75 on Craigslist.  Rotten bed and super-flimsy homemade frame but nice tail gate and fenders.  Putting the fenders back on craigslist as "rat rod" parts, see if I can get $100 for em.  Got an even $20 at the scrap yard for the 980 lbs of what was left of it.

 

 

Gotta love the soup can bearing caps....... lol
