Looking good man! I cant wait to get my project started lol

 

Thanks dude, she is finally coming together! Your going to have much more fun than me, lol

 

Not for a while. Still got alot of selling to do to get the money together

 

Had a guy come by and offer me more than what I owe on the old girl, and I still sent him packing... Just can't let it go, finally got it the way I want it and couldn't part with it.

Got a quote from a local body shop guy to cut and replace the cab corner panels and rocker panels on both sides. Parts and labor he wanted $1,000. I told him I wanted them cut out, new ones welded in, and filled and primed. He knows I wanted to do roll on bed liner after he is done. He also said he would sand blast them as well, to further prevent rust.

I thought that was a good price for him to do the grunt work. Thoughts?

I would do it myself if it was just minor rust, but it is cancer now and rotting from inside out. Needs to be cut out. I was washing it last week and a spot I pushed on, finger went right through it. Lol

 

Can you weld? The cab corner pieces cost about $31.00 each. If you can cut out and weld in new part it should save $. And I sprayed Raptor Liner in my bed - Cost about $100.

 

Never tried to weld or metal fab, nor know any one who could lend me a rig.... I guess he is a bit high?

 

just buy the pieces yourself and get another quote for just the labor

 

Hell, bring it down here and I'll weld it in for you. We'll get it fixed up (but you will have to sand)! Want a stripe on it?

 

I do I do!!! I'm thinking black

 

Damn it missed that whole thing there at the end, i'll take a stripe but can you move your garage up this way, say like in my driveway!

Well front tires are starting to wear on inside of both, so I have set up an appointment to get an alignment this Saturday. I am praying to the gods above to just be an alignment and not a bunch of bad steering components. They will be giving me a print out BEFORE they try to align it, it's only $69.99 for a 4 wheel alignment.

I will update as soon as I hear from them. If I get bad news, gonna attempt to do it all myself, with the help of my bosses garage/tools. I will be needing help for sure, never worked on the front end, time to pop my cherry boys
