    Nope, never experienced that before. o_O Usually one finds its way to a shin or foot.

    Congratulations buZZsaw BRAD, once again you have looked beyond the laws of physics that confine modern man. Your tailgate was the the first time—a team of engineers and scientists still can’t figure out how that thing continues to exist.

    But the old sheet metal is already formed to the bow perfectly?

    Usally when my stacks refuse to fall it’s because I was too lazy to cover them for a year or two and the bonded together with mushrooms or mold :) Doesn’t appear to be your case tho. Sheer magic.

    buZZsaw BRAD, you certainly don’t have to use the original wallered out holes. :handshake:

    It gets worse. Somewhere over the course of my day delivering wood, my back license plate fell off! I heard rattling and then something metal hitting the road. :picard: :emb:

    The plate on my trailer is folded up real nice. Makes a smaller target and someone could stuff it in an envelope and mail it back :)
