I told him that i wanted to have the truck finished before october....he says he can get it done, but we'll see....the sad thing is, money isnt the issue. i told him, if money is the issue, let me know and ill write you a check. Britt wants to start her truck and she cant till mine is done.

See, there is your problem. You didn't tell him which October you wanted it done by. :lol:

I have been in paint prison one too many times. I am resorting to doing it myself this time around. I painted aircraft for the air force for a few years and worked in a body shop for a summer so I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous. We will see how that turns out.

Even though he says the money isn't an issue it probably would make him move faster if you handed him some cash to speed things up. It should move your truck up on his priorities list.

it looks like u r on the right road. out of 5 trucks you have plenty of parts good luck and God bless your build. in all your trucks do you have any extry radiator core support you want to sell.
