Thank you for the kind words. I live on a thousand acre cattle ranch and this will be used to haul a couple bales of hay or half a dozen bags of cubes, and general running around, etc. 28 mpg is a lot better than 12 with the big trucks. I could not come up with a good way to hinge the tail gate. For now it hangs on the two pegs that the hydraulic lift cylinders connected to and then it is fastened down to the bed with sheet metal screws. I will attach some pictures of that in a couple of days. btw, my next project is to build a crewcab, four seater, dually HHR pickup truck. I have already bought the two wrecked HHR's. One with wrecked front end and the other with a wrecked rear. The duals will be cosmetic only since it is front wheel drive. All that I have done so far is cut and paste some pictures to see what it will look like. I added this to my albun. This will be a little more challenging, but what's life about.

I will try to get the finished pictures up this weekend. Thanks again for all of the good words.

Well, I am finished with the HHR pickup truck. The chrome, lights and and pinstriping have all been installed. Now, what next? I tried to attach pictures here, but could not get it done. I have put pictures of the finished product in my album in the gallery. Thanks for all of the kind words and comments.
