What kind of material would it be? Steel? I guess I need to call them Monday and see what the hold up is. 3 weeks should be plenty of time for the job, wouldnt you think? lol

LOL @ the body shop. They have to make fillers to go in there. Best to use is regular mild steel sheet metal. 1/8 '' Is the whole top of the gate recessed ?

A piece needs to be cut, then placed over the top. The seam needs to be welded, also the top/sides, then filled, blocked out.
