I know ya want a good lookin truck when ya get done with it. So far, I've got about $5,500-$6,000 just in paint and body from the rear of the cab forward. This guy did some pretty extensive work for me though. Rockers, cab corners, repaired a hacked dash, repaired above the windshield (before there was a patch panel ),dis-assembled it and had it dipped for me. I didn't have to do anything except bring him my truck. After all the work was done, he aligned everything, hung the doors and hood. But then again, yours will be black, and that shows all the little imperfections, unless it's done right. Ya might want to shop around, and maybe choose a couple or three different colors also? Here's a pick of mine so far. Gotta save some money to have him finish the bed. For what it's worth, he's also giving me a lifetime warranty on the paint.
