added 12ga. steel to the tailgate(the steel work on that is done)

I am going to add more 12ga. steel to the front angle tomorrow then all I have to do is weld fenders but the rims I ordered over a month ago haven't come yet so I will probably take my spare off my jeep and steal my brothers spare so that I can get those done and then it will be ready for skinning and paint

thanks everyone
unfortunately I am not going to be able to finish it in time for my trip next week not because of me but because the wheels I ordered over 5 weeks ago are not going to get here untill the day I am planning on leaving for tahoe and the west coast.
but I have almost got all the metalwork done another hour or two and it will be ready for sandblasting.
