Pete, the Top for me will be a project for next winter. It is actually in really good shape but I will have to give it the once over to match the truck once all redone. My goal is to just get the truck back together and running asap for this year if at all possible.
The way the tailgate latches and handle turned out I think you could do just about anything. I did the fuel filler pipe earlier with the Chassis stuff if you remember from a previous picture. Plating like this will not flow inside areas too much or in between layers so that is its limitation. For the tailgate latches there isn't new zinc on the inside under the rubbers that gets exposed when you compress the latch bolt and spring because it can't flow under that but I didn't media blast it under there to start with and that is all well buried inside the tailgate that you will never see after assembly.

So far I'm loving everything I have replated. I will post pictures of the black probably on the weekend. I got way more done this time around in it.
The Blazer speaker grill is what I'm most anxious to see how it turned out.
