Looks good congrats...There's nothing beter them watching an old truck come back to life. Warning your going to become a truck jerk. Don't lean on my truck, get away from the truck, your going to scratch my ride. Beleive me I know. And now your interior will have to be good looking also

Well even when the truck didn't look that great i was a truck jerk. My thinking was if they respect the truck now they will respect it more when it looks good.

Looks great! And I know how much work goes into just prepping a truck for paint.
If you got it all done in one month your the MAN!
Nice work.

When i say prepping for paint all i did was sand down the cab (because the old paint had crack all to hell) sanded down all the nicks in the paint and did some minor body work. You can still see all the dents because i didn't bondo anything and the paint is still all orange peeled. The acually paint job doesn't look bad but the color is very neon and not anywhere near the color i wanted so i think im going to give it a light wet sanding and paint it again with a color i like better.
And thank you for all the compliment!!!

Well i really don't like thre color of the paint so today I went to Napa(were i bought the paint) and was talking to the guy who sold it to me. He then proceded to look at the truck and realized that the color was no where near the color we had talked about. so he made me the deal of he will give a gallon of paint but i have to buy the reducer and the hardner. The great part about this is that the new gallon of paint is going to be about 10x better than the previous stuff he sold me. So I guess what Im trying to say is that 1) I made out like a bandit on the deal and 2) if you have a problem with something you are sold go back and talk to the guy that sold it to you sometimes it does absolutly nothing but the other part of the time it will work out for the better.
