Idea on cleaning up the back end...

I've tended to hold back a little, so as not to go "too far over the edge" (yes, my truck is a conservative take), but I've been inspired by Frizzle Fry's hybrid project body lines to push that edge just a little bit. The bed half of the Wallet Eater is in progress, and I recently finished doing a double wall on it. I also picked up some mandrel bends to do the trick Frizzle Fry did. But I've been wanting to clean up the lines on the tailgate area. Here's a q&d pshop of an idea... the gate is skinned with a bed side or a couple of door skins to get the body line crease and rolls of the side of these trucks. It flows smoothly into the rolled pan, which curls under and terminates.

Waddaya think?
