My PO put a floor shifter in for a manual trans which is fine, but he put it in the wrong place, so instead of patching it and trying again he just elongated it. So there's a hole about 6" wide by 18" long in the trans tunnel. Guess he was WAY off.

Going thru all the trouble to have the truck sand blasted, perfectly block sanded and painted laser straight, but skimp on the metal prep just to have the paint crack on the left side of the bed and right front fender.

Doing actually a great job fiberglass patching the floor by the rocker panels. It's actually un-noticable when you see it from the top or bottom. He went thru all the trouble and could have welded instead.

He sold every single part off the truck for some unknown reason so it was just a shell leftover.
