Ask Uncle Sam. Plus it's gonna have 3 tone paint in about a month. I've got a type of sponsorship for the front mounts. Might be able to swing you something as well. :D

I try to do as much as possible on my own. I do it partly to save money, but mostly because I enjoy it - it's my hobby. After spending the day in the office, I like to come home and get my hands dirty. Not to mention the satisfaction one gets from taking something that's not working and fixing it.

So far, my biggest job was dismembering my Dad's '77 in my driveway (it went to the recycler in pieces) and installing it's HD rearend and springs onto my '86 - sweet.

That's my $.02. :D

I love to do the work myself if I can. It gives me a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, plus I know exactly what is in my truck too.

So far I've done absolutely everything except rebuild the rear-end. When I'm close to finishing the only thing I won't do will be paint and clearcoat. I don't have the setup...
