Could someone give me the dimensions for the tail gate surround? Mine is so badly decomposed I can’t get trustworthy dimensions for reproduction.
Thanks -------------------- Lots of rust and a 53 CJ3B

It would be great to see how you fabricate it. I know pic's are a pain, but if you get a chance...

I'm just wondering if Steven Greene ever got his new repro sheet metal parts business (okay, his dad's old JeepPanels Plus, but with a new name) up and running in Maine and if anyone has been able to get in touch with him. The phone # and e-mail he'd posted sometime back seems to have come to an abrupt end.

Larry, I think he's in business. I haven't talked with him. There's been skeptical talk about his business over on the 2A Forums. http://www.greenespanelworks.com/Home.html It seems like there is some activity on this website after checking the Guestbook. -------------------- Rus Curtis

Thanks for the update Russ. I had bought one of the last panels Sheldon made (a rear panel for an M416 trailer) before he passed that ended up with Steven calling me about it a few months later; (he and his mom wasn't quite sure that I'd ever received it). Anyway, he seemed like a very knowledgible young man with quite a bit of experience who sincerely wanted to carry on his dad's business.
