In the process of our second restoration. Last one was 5 or 6 years ago (40 Truck). Took me that long to remember how much hard work & patience it takes to prep & paint a vehicle. Also, remembered that I swore never to get into body/paint restoration work again. What a HUGE pain in the A$$.

This makes me respect the pros even more than I already do. You guys are freakin' nuts for doing it day in & day out, but, @ the same time gifted w/ patience & the ability to bust your a$$. Have one on me...:cheers:

Thanks, I'm sure anyone that does paint n bodywork appreciates that.
Most people don't understand how much work goes into doing it, till they try themselves.
Got any questions theirs alot of guys on this site that'll help out.

This is true! I just started prepping mine for a new paint job and dent in the rear quarter and its a ton of work, way harder than it looks! Where Im at they do full restorations all day every day. I dont think I would have the patience to do that haha

Now you understand why it cost what it does.

I do restorations/high end body work for a living, it is most certainly a labor of love.
