I would love to know how much you have tied up in this amazing truck. Can't wait to see it done!

Unfortunately more than I ever planned and yet still have paint and interior to do. I almost fell out my chair when I got a paint quote the other day. One of the top painters in the Dallas area and highly recommended but I am debating badly if I can swallow it because I didn't expect it to be that bad. To fix every flaw even from factory, paint the engine bay, re body work the entire truck and single color metallic black is 15k and I'm having trouble with that one. But my only hint in all I'm spending is that is about my bill this go around with Keith and this is my second go around with him plus everything else Ive done.

Either I'll never sell this truck or someone will appreciate all the hidden details of a properly built truck and pay reasonable (nowhere near worth but can swallow selling). I'm just ready to enjoy it.

15k?? Wtf how much damage is done where it needs to be re-body worked?
I was thinking 10k was high when I was talking to a painter the other day.

Well unfortunately she won't be making Orange Beach. Few little issues that need to be worked out and I didn't believe she was show ready. Shouldn't be long though until she is 100% though.
