Custom Tailgate For The Holden RBEH 

I think Boyd Coddington once said “it’s a lot of work for something 98% of people won’t notice, but it’s the 2% that do that mean something” Killer work, mate

Really enjoy watching people who know what they’re doing and I’m learning heaps too thankyou

As always, absolutely top shelf Pete, attention to detail & craftsmanship are second to none.

Always enjoy watching the how to stuff. Craftsmen obviously. Great stuff.

Making it LOOK easy.

Ripper! Thanks for sharing your skills

such patient craftsmanship

Very very inspiring The idea's just flow Great work

Attention to detail. Slow n steady, I love it.

G’day and greetings from Tasmania, the EH was my first car but not a Ute I have very fond memories of her even though I’m 67. You have done a beautiful job of that tailgate I can picture what she will look like when she is finished, it’s great watching you restore it. You’re a good restorer and it’s very pleasing to see that is Aussie restoration instead of the US which bombard RU-vid. Take care and look after yourself John

Really nice work.

You're a great tradesman 👍👍

Brilliant work Pete a true mastercrafts man, shame the average joe blow won't realise the effort that goes into a build like this, awesome work, love the channel, cheers.

Top job Pete.. you are master of panel work.. looks smick

Absolutely amazing workmanship and ingenuity. I’m going to give my tailgate a crack I look forward to seeing more of this EH

Gorgeous. I love EJ holden. Always had EJ's in early 80's but wanted an EH. when I finally had a couple I wanted to go back to my EJ. The station wagon. Yours is a beaut mate. EJ style tail lights are a nice looking thing. What was one of the greatest parts of the EJ was how much paint was on it and it stuck like the proverbial to a blanket. Well a hell of a lot better than that really. Tight welds, solid panels and no rust. I gotta stop before I go and kick my arse for selling it. Nice touches you're adding. Might have been bloody popular in the 60's like that. The red 149 was a pearler in my one. So smooth the driver would try to start it again at the intersections sometimes but it would still be running. I guess your going for the RB 30 DE (T?) ? That'll be mental A F mate !

Coming along nicely brilliant 👏 👌 🍻🍻🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺👍🦘🍻🏔👊🍻🍻

Love your work mate 👌

Wow, awesome skills. First time watching, now subscribed

Excellent.

Awesome work mate.

Thanks Pete 🙏🙏👍👍

Great work

Damn Pete your good man love your work keep it up mate 👍 👌

NICE WORK MATE I meet you at the power hammer course at Moto Retro hope you're doing well mate. Aaron @ The Resto Shop

Beautiful work. Lots of attention to detail, especially in places where a lot of these old Holdens are filled with fibreglass and bog🔥

nice job on the tail gate but one flaw in your hard top by being a flush fit water will lay in the gap on the sides

It's a pleasure to watch you work awesome skill and pure craftmanship!.

I haven't opened an EH tailgate in 40-odd years as soon as you mentioned the latch I remembered using a screwdriver to flick/pry the bastard open.

You are 100% correct about "billet handles" for the tailgate, I need two !! PS, I love your solution.

Instead of the cable stays would a 2 piece strap in 20mm x 3 mm flat plate sit in flush when it’s closed? Inspirational work.

I think 🤔 I’ve said it before but I’m going to say it again you are the best I’ve ever seen in the business of modifying cars !!!! You’re also giving me ideas on my EH ute and my xh falcon ute love your videos you are one talented man thank you 🙏 I feel privileged watching you work amazing

Really in joy that good to see you

Fricken awesome work man. Cheers.

That's almost identical to the way 'I'm doing my '39 Ford ute, my main problem is that I can't purchase a outer skin for the tailgate, and I'm unable to hammer in the shape at the top without a power hammer.

Your channel is great, the rb ute is mint. Did you do a clip for the turbo manifold. Can't find your business just golf pro shops 😂

Yep, a lot of work

I want A hard top for my HD Holden ute too, I was looking at overlapping the top, with a rubber seal under the overlap, so it seals to the top of the ute back to stop water getting in. I'm curious as to how you plan on stopping water getting into the gap between the top and the sides of the ute back ?

Great work 👌🏼

Beautiful job on the tailgate, the original hinges are terrible!

Beautiful job. Do you file finish your work?

It’s hard to tell from the videos but How long did this take?

so when you put the hard lid on the channel where does the water go to when it rains?

bit bloody rough mate, sorry fantastic job

Thanks can you tell me where you got the turbo manifold please.

Given that you’ve had your jig/fabrication table for approx 12 months now, how do you feel about it, its size and do you have any other comments about it. Thanks

Its an EJ not an EH All EJ's have a door for the fuel cap and all EH's have just a hole to fill up. This is not an EH ute.

No

Very neat, alot of work for sure, do you know the Khaos Designs channel lady that does the mini Trucks ?

Hard lid? Poof
