    So Roughly 3 months ago, my truck had a Dumpster fly into the side of it during a crazy storm. Messed up the door, fender, bumper, and fender flare. A week before that a drunk guy backed into my Tailgate and I had that also replaced, (He paid for it). Anyhow. I was able to get the tailgate and fender back from the body shop and I kinda was thinking it may be a cool garage item, something to hang up. Sticker it up and make something cool with it. Line it with Beer caps...Creativity is endless!

    I thought this would be a cool place to post this, due to the fact that we all are creative! Tell me what you think! She got hit pretty good.

    I say put a nice Plexi sheet in the wheel well with a nice big 'X' on it, put some bracing on the hood/door edges, mount it in the corner of your garage, and stage your heli on it!

    Depending on how the tailgate looks now.... you could mount it on the wall. Use metal and make (or have made) hinges like on the truck. You could also put u-bolts or angle steel with a box cut out on the wall so the gate could close to store. Retaining cables/chains could be mounted to the same bolt or angle usd for the latches.

    If you want to get "fancy" you could get/make cushions mounted on the wall and top side of the gate.

    Shit mayne. I’d have someone bang that dent out at your leisure, and cut a fucking hole in it. For a snorkel. Because you can never have enough r/s fenders.
