Success! flareside tailgate protector made, and NOS Fog Light Bezel score!

reamer
Took 5 attempts to get it right, but the protector is made and fits just like an original!
Also scored a NOS-Fog Light bezel and it comes with the rubber "flapper" and chrome knob...

Fresh out of the jig


Cut to size

I think you found him out, David.  

Ron - Good job!  Both on the tailgate protector and on the bezel.  

Do you want to start selling the protectors?  If so, I don't see a problem in advertising Bullnose-specific things in the For Sale, Trade, or Free To A Good Home folder.
