Re: off it goes
Looking good! I DO NOT envy you on all that block sanding...but it is what is needed for a top notch finish.

Re: off it goes
I've heard people say "if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it" but I gotta know. What does it cost to get this level of detail in paint/body work?

Re: off it goes
It's all in the hours, shops charge anywhere from 60-100 bucks an hour. If you're doing your own work the satisfaction of a job well done is priceless.

Re: off it goes
it's only money...you make it everyday and you spend it everyday, lol. I'm very fortunate that my buddy is amazing fabrication and body man, that helps, the shop rate he has given me is not anywhere close to the above rates mentioned. So even though we have put a lot of time and money into the truck....I would think there is guys out there that have spent more money on a lesser quality truck. The truck is not worked on fully through the week....there is times it might get 10-12 hours there is times where it might not get touched, thus the reason for the timeline on the build. I am such a perfectionist with everything that I know when this is done I won't be saying "I wish I had of". We have planned every step along the way and are always looking to the next step and trying to stay ahead of all the scenario's that arise with custom builds like this.

Re: off it goes
I love what you're doing, but what I want to know is HOW are you doing it? Like how in the world did you roll those beads etc??? I don't have access to a body guy, so without knowing how to do it a build like this is totally beyond my reach

Re: off it goes
Amazing work! I still remember when I saw this truck listed on Ebay in it's original state with the inline 6. Hard to believe you're taking that truck and making it better but you are, you're making it WORLDS better! Keep it up man!

Re: off it goes
they are from the collision industry, but the company is out of business now, they were made by a company called Chart.

Re: off it goes
Hello Chromaholic. I just found this thread yesterday and finally finished going through it today. I am in awe of the work you and your buddy have done. I would love to see this truck since i don't live that far away. Thank-you for taking the time to post all the progress and answering everyone's questions.
