    The tailgate on this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 all started when the guy were building it for said "I hate the chains, all swingin' around, scratching the paint"...

    Our solution. Barn Doors. No chains required...

    Video of the doors working...

    Center console for the same truck, created from the lower cab corners that were cut out and repaired with patch panels. Both corners were welded end to end to make a console with curves that absolutely match the truck. This will house a number of controls, the fuse panel and a flip-screen deck...
