Scratch-Built Tailgate | 100 Hours of Fabrication in 20 Minutes

With the amount of work that went into building the tailgate for this 1963 International Pickup is insane! We're guessing no one ever has or ever will take the time do fabricate a tailgate like this.

You guys make me feel better about my work i am 40 hours in my tailgate and i was feeling down about it taking so long
I am about half ish way through starting with just a skin
I really appreciate the insight considering my fabrication business is more generalist and structural not automotive based

Nice job!

Thank you! No videos on the Nova yet, but we are taking it out to the Grand National Roadster Show in Pamona, CA next week. We'll definitely shoot some videos on it in the future.

Incredible fab work. May be my favorite current build.

First, Beautiful work. Second Im 25 years as a sheet metal worker fabricator and I really appreciate all of the quality equipment you’re running. Im sure it took some time to purchase all of it. Consider looking into an automated brake. I think the stretching dies are great but you could easily get a lot of those profiles including the curves from an automated brake with way less finishing work. Third I love that you are TIG welding the sheet metal and not MIG welding it. Question for you. I was trying to figure out if you were pulse TIG welding across that tailgate.

[@oldanvilspeedshop]

Thank you for your kind words and support! To answer your question, yes Brandon was manually pulse TIG welding using his foot instead of a setting on the machine for more control.

Awesome fabrication and detail work.
I noticed that you put sound deadening material inside, but any reason why no epoxy coating or primer for corrosion protection?
Thanks

This is an International pickup, correct? What year?

[@oldanvilspeedshop]

It is a 1963 International C1100. We did a full walk-around video on the truck that you can check out!

@@oldanvilspeedshop back in the early to mid 60's my dad had one exactly like it which was used in his carpentry business. The vehicle I learned to drive stuck in. Always had a front end shimey at about 40 miles an hour 🤣🤣🤣
