Flushed Tailgates
Im going to flush my own tailgate as soon as the weather gets a bit better. I am going to weld a metal plate in the recess so that its almost flush with the rest of the boot.
Im assuming I just fill it with P38 and sand it down ??
Is this right ? I just have doubts about that, because it will be quite alot of filler and I dont want it to crack or break away when I slam the boot down ??
Any help please ladz .....
RE: Flushed Tailgates
I want to do this to my nova as well. I was thinking of taking the tailgate off and putting something into the recess before welding a plate onto it. I think that will make it more solid. I don't know whether this would work as I haven't done it yet
RE: Flushed Tailgates
plate it, then foam filler, then p38 sand,prime,paint might need 2 struts aswell

Also are there any links to a page with a guide to flushing ya tailgate ? Its a longshot but its worth a try.
RE: Flushed Tailgates
no idea on links but can this be in styling forum please?
RE: Flushed Tailgates
Yeah struts m8 I asume this is coz the tailgate will be heavier.?????????
sayin that though i have got a flushed tailgate and just a normal one and the flushe done feels lighter i put this down to lack of handle and locking mechanism
done properly flushed tailgates are much heavier
This post is over 2 yrs old btw, how did it get up here, and in the tech section? Kooey Admin!..........
