Thank you Pehr.


Have the original 1948 Willys Truck tailgate mocked into position. Not sure now if to modify this to suit or build something simpler? With all the details in the lower panels its looking a bit busy? I still want it set inwards with a roll top and bottom, but then maybe with just a simple step like around the taillights and doors etc in from the edge? Or one without the I pressings each side would tone it down and just have the WO?


Maybe a plain tailgate skin between the top and bottom rolls and the pre-war type pressing with the smaller WO and the three beads each side like in the middle of my sign?


When I mean step around the edge, I mean like this but not flush to the front.
