Yes but you probably understand the significance.
Indeed. I assume you chose it to bring attention to the engine being that everything else is much more obvious. If so, then it makes perfect sense with the truck as a whole.

In the 70's Mazda made a rotary pickup called the REPU. Google it and check the tailgate...

Ahhhh...

I like it...
Basically the motivation behind this build. Originally it was going to be what Mazda would have built for a REPU in the 90's but it went crazy.

Definitely, but at least once its complete you'll have one very unique ride.

Im willing to bet 90% of people are going to hate the tailgate skin. I mulled it over in my head for years and finally said f**k it, it needs to be done and im super happy with the way it turned out. The saying on the tailgate means so much to the rotary enthusiast. Trying to bring it back to where it all began.

I dont think its fair to say it looks cheap until its finished, but the stamped lettering looks clean. I feel cheap would be had he used vinyl decals.

I dig it for the nostalgic derivitive. I'm looking forward to the finished product. Thatll speak for itself. Good or bad, it was worth doing it solely to get it out of your system. If you end up disliking the finished product, Im sure it'd be easy to change compared to the difficulty of the rest of the build.

cheap was a bad phrasing, it just looks out of place, but like i just said , it will probably grow on me once its all painted and done.
