Yours is going along good. I build cars on a very strict budget and do all the work myself.
I bought the truck for 500.
I bought the running but wrecked 90 1500 for 500.
I plan on spending another 1000 and it will be done.
My 54 Chevy Rat Truck I spent 500 and built it for 500 and parts laying around the yard that my wife was *****ing about. hahhaaa showed her
Now she doesnt know if she is pissed about parts or another car in the yard.

I painted it witha quart of semigloss rustoleum with a roller.
The current project will have a nice paint job.
