I'm in a unique situation. It was very hard for me to find someone to do this restoration. I had a couple of people suggested to me when the truck was in Washington State, but the bottom line is I felt most comfortable with Tony. Remember--I'm in Hawaii and can't really haul this thing around getting bids. In fact, I've never even seen this truck in person. If I'm going to bring this truck to Hawaii, I have to be 100% certain it's done correctly or it won't last 5 years here.
On that note--Tony does have a reluctance about cutting up donor trucks. I almost wish he didn't, because I think it might be cheaper to cut up a donor cab/bed than to do all the fabrication work. Then again, when it comes to body work I'm completely talking out of my ass. That's why I want to get (at a minimum) all the rust repaired.
It'll take longer, but I'd like to think I can take care of the rest.
