Ford 1928-29 Original Model A Pick-up Tailgate Ratrod Hotrod Roadster on 2040-parts.com
Imperial Beach, California, United States
|
This Ford Model A Tailgate is in very good condition considering its age. 1928 1929 1930 1931. The ruler is used to show the flatness or the straightness of the panel. The tailgate appears to have been media blasted and primered to both sides. There is light surface oxidation. The top edge is in very good condition with small deviations. As the photo indicates, there are approx. five 1/16" holes drilled in the top edge. Probably from a person that did not know how to install the bed tonneau snaps correctly. There are approx 5 tonneau snaps to the underside of the gates top edge. The bed corners, edges, top and bottom, latches and hinge support flat bars and overall condition of the tailgate is very good. The item is not perfect. There is minimal body work necessary to make this piece perfect. I could not see any hammer and dolly impact marks or shrinking of the metal via torch or any tool anywhere on this item. This tailgate is devoid of any bondo/plastic filler from what i can determine. This is a fantastic and what appears to be an original tailgate. This item was removed from a roadster pickup Hotrod. Good luck on your bidding! Thank you!

Hyundai move from Baboons to Kids to test quality
Fri, 05 Jul 2013Hyundai let a troop of 4 & 5 year olds loose on an i30 to test quality Last year, Hyundai let a troop of 40 safari park baboons loose on an i30 to see if, left to their own devices, they could trash Hyundai’s very well bolted together (just ask Martin Winterkorn) i30. It was a clever way to demonstrate that the i30 doesn’t just look good, but is made of a bit more than recycled baked bean cans and Fairy liquid bottles. The i30 came through the baboon test with flying colours (even the company tasked with cleaning it up after the baboons commented on the story that they were impressed by how unscathed the i30 was), but Hyundai has now come up with a quality test that makes the baboon adventure look like a walk in the (safari) park.
One Lap of the Web: The Internet celebrates the Mustang
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Fifty years ago, Muhammad Ali became the heavyweight champion of the world, "Jeopardy!" debuted, Lockheed went 2,000 mph with the YF-12 and a mop-topped band went on a television show to promote what would be shameless nostalgia for the next 50 years, even while it was happening. Oh, and Ford introduced the Mustang, an event that would be Lee Iacocca's Second Greatest Shining Moment, behind introducing Chrysler's TC by Maserati as the prettiest Italian to arrive stateside since his mother. The World's Fair was 50 years ago this week, and the Internet remembers what it was like when the Mustang came out.
Chrysler Shakes Up Design Leadership
Wed, 08 Jul 2009A recent shuffle of Chrysler Group's design team could be just what the company needs to effect a quick turnaround after bankruptcy, industry analysts say. The automaker has promoted three men from within to head design for its Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep brands. These freshly created positions - part of a broader restructuring effort - will report to Ralph Gilles, senior vice president of product design.
