I will probably do everything but the sanding and painting. I think I will just paint it to the original paint scheme, it's nice to see what everyone else's trucks look like. She told me herself that she would paint it all black if she would've redone it but I think she will like it redone original. I may end up putting different wheels on it, I'll have to see after I get the original cleaned up. I'm loosing the shell, and I'm going to start working on it Wednesday. The first thing that's coming off is the running boards haha.Depends on whos doing it or if youre doing it yourself. depends on how much body work, rust repair, prep work needed. too many variables to give an accurate estimate. but if I had to guess I would say $3-8k?
personally, I love the two tone black and gray. my favorite combo. If you do plan to repaint I would love to see that truck go back to the original paint scheme. especially since it sounds like it may have sentimental value with being a friends dads truck. and ya I wouldn't lower it or wheels or anything. loose the shell keep the rally wheels freshen up the paint and have a beautiful classic to roll in and be proud of. oh.. loose the running boards too
What'd that run you, if you don't mind me asking? Looks nice!
It's not really fair to say. There's a local tech school/career center that took it on as a class project.
I understand! There's an auto body class at the high school I graduated from. My mom is the district bookkeeper there, I may ask her to ask the teacher if they could work on mine/how much it would cost.
That cool as hell that you took it to a school to have it done. Not hijacking just thought it needed said.
Not cheesy at all, I took building trades my jr and sr year and automechanics my sr year also, I always looked forward to those classes.
Looks like they did/are doing a hell of a job. Would love to see more photos when you get a chance and definitely photos of it finished.
I'll probably TRY to tackle some of the body work on mine. I'm not competent enough to sand it as I've heard your sanding determines how well the paint will turn out and I've never sanded a vehicle.
