See, there is your problem. You didn't tell him which October you wanted it done by.

I have been in paint prison one too many times. I am resorting to doing it myself this time around. I painted aircraft for the air force for a few years and worked in a body shop for a summer so I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous. We will see how that turns out.

Even though he says the money isn't an issue it probably would make him move faster if you handed him some cash to speed things up. It should move your truck up on his priorities list.

77chris03 · 08-19-2012, 10:36 PM

i pay by the hour....i gave him 500 bucks when he started...or when i dropped the stuff off to have him start it. im paying 45 an hour....he doesnt even have 5 in it....hes blasted both fenders and blocked/filled one and its not even finished....

Where did you get the ac/temp control panel?

gdavis · 09-14-2012, 03:02 PM

it looks like u r on the right road. out of 5 trucks you have plenty of parts good luck and God bless your build. in all your trucks do you have any extry radiator core support you want to sell.
