Update: Going to see the guy on Saturday, I’m getting this damn tailgate.

Not a VW one, but still very cool. Gonna email the guy tonight. Any idea what the size of this thing would be? !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

If I’m not mistaken each of the big bumps on that paneling is a foot. Easy to look up though and get a rough idea.

What’s your build your going for? I am going for this.

Kinja'd!!!

Almost exactly like it except a 2x4 on its side below the side rail with plywood underneath so I can secure the tailgate I case the kids knock it over it won’t fall out. Then caulk some glass or lexan on top because kids spill everything and I don’t want it dripping on the tailgate.

I’m going for the same kind of thing. I’ll probably clean up the tailgate a little bit for less tetnus, and I also would want to repaint the lettering. Other than that, build very similar to the picture you have.
