Question- in the interior episode it was mentioned that you stamped out the CRAFTSMAN logo on the tailgate "in aluminum". The tailgate looks so OEM I can't imagine you built the whole thing out of aluminum. Did the video mis-speak or did you actually integrate an aluminum piece into a restored OEM tailgate ? CAn you elaborate a bit on how that was done ? (not asking the secrets to the perfectly formed logo letters !)

In the video I caught something about laser cutting the letters and using them as a die to stamp the aluminum.
