MY TRUCK IS READY FOR PAINT! been doing body work since last june. rust repair lasted til about fall and then bodywork... it sucked! and then it got cold so i built the engine, and now it's ready for paint after i finished the bodywork today. i sanded my last spot, got a brush to wipe off the dust, stood up, threw the brush on the ground, and went inside for a mountain dew.
