I spent the afternoon building the tailgate, spill plate and tail pan. I thought I would give this one a little spill plate to protect the lights;). Things on the rear aren't completely finalized but they are getting close. I think once the light holes are drilled and the mudflaps are in place it will be looking good.

Each side panel wraps around to the front and they join in the middle. I welded it up today and you can barely see the join. I could have made the outer pieces in three parts but I thought two was better for the look I was going for.:confused:
