What's really bad is, I bought that Burb in '06 and other than one tiny little rust bubble behind the LR wheel, the damn thing had no rust to be found anywhere. It was focking solid as could be, factory paint on the whole frame and everything. It had come up from Texas about a year before I got it. Ohio killed it in just a decade.


And yet you stay.

Better yet, why does the title of this thread say "tryna"?

You get what you pay for when it comes to paint 100% I think your best bet would be to put the truck back together or at least get it running and driving and take it in to a few body shops and talk it over with them and see your options. I just purchased one gallon of paint and it cost me 1,200 it’s not cheap

Its funny because I actually do not speak in that manner and actually quite abhor it. My cousin is 3 years younger than I am and he started using that "bruh" word.

I especially hated it when he said it to me because I felt like he was calling me "bra". I told him I wasn't a damn victoria secret product. I type like that trying to sound a bit friendlier and casual. However, its alright I got thick skin and I'm not gonna let a bunch of pe sufferin' old bastards such as y'all to work me up. Lol

Reminded me of one of the boards I used to go on years ago; a new member used “trina” in their post. It was enough to get a few white knights swooping in to come to her assistance, presumably in hopes of becoming “Trina’s” new e-boyfriend.
Trina had to explain that she was a he, and trina=trying to, surely dashing the hopes and dreams of several lonely gentlemen.
Trina posted a few days later that he had wrecked his car in someone’s front yard (even providing pics as I recall). He was flamed to a crisp and never heard from again.

I love the internet

You what's nice about being young? You can run. Something all of you old folks probably only do in black and white pictures! Lmao

So how do you plan to put me over some other old dudes knees(which I wouldn't btw, they might be fragile) to give me a "tan"? Lol

Honestly, the prices you state along with the work you want done accompanied by the pics the price sounds spot on and don’t be surprised if it ends up being a little higher.

My suggestion to you is no time like the present to start learning how to do the work yourself to save some coin. Paint and bodywork is not cheap and is not a short process either so hours are long which equals money

not to mention paint ppg shopline (cheapest paint they make) is 175 a gallon

It's OK. I don't say Bruh either. It's quite annoying to me
