What latchs and straps are you using. Looks good on there!
Well lets see. I narrowed it about 1 1/4''. I used the plug type pivet hinge from the 67. I only used the vertical ribe bottom and inserted it into the gate. I'll used some small square tubing to stiffen up the xertical sided. for latches I have two from the Vette hatch I plan on useing. Their spring loaded when closed. Remind me to post a pic when there are done.

I also plan on using the vette gas strut for the gate if it works out
