The only stock part on the lower gate is some hinges that were given to me by someone on this thread. Some doofus cut them in half with a torch. I cobbled them back together and we will see how long the welds last on the cast. At some point i need to get some undamaged ones.

The rest of the gate is all home brewed. I made a frame from 12 gauge and it is thicker than stock. I skinned it with fiberglass because i could not find any sheet metal off a vehicle that could be modified to work. Those compound curves are hard to form with out an English wheel. I just finished the latch mechanism, the part on the gate is all home brewed, the latches on the door frame are original. I got it to work, just tested it a few minutes ago. I now need to make attachment points for the chains, I did have them installed but my brain was not working that day and I placed them in the wrong spot. They hit the latch. You going stock or upgrade?
