ouchy!
 
Well a buddy of mine came and gave me a bid on what it would cost to finish the body work on the bed of my truck...Im ok at body work, but these bedsides need a pro. He wants 1500$ to finish the bed. I know its worth it and thats a fair price, but it will be fun for my 17 year old self to come up with that kind of cash.:barf: :whine: :barf: :whine:

DAMN.... You can do it man! :)

Maybe you could do the sanding (under his guidance) and get that price knocked down a little bit. Sanding is a major pita an I am sure that any bodywork person would be willing to charge less if he/she did not have to do it.

Btw, based on your sig, you truck must be pretty mean on the street. Any 1/4 times or hp/tq numbers?

The truck has never been started with all of its new mods, the last time it was driven was with a 305, TH400, adn 3:43 gears to a best of 16.43 @ 81. That was with 180 hp. With the new setup it will crank out about 550 hp, so Im looking for 11.90s.
