This truck belongs to an older woman, whose husband passed away earlier this year. It was her husband's truck, and after he passed away she wanted to restored to the way it was the day he bought it. Dealt with rust issues, dents, dings, and repainted every inch of this truck including the rims and the topper. All new pin striping, the whole nine yards.

When she brought the truck to us:

And, finally, the truck after wash, buff, wash and wax, and full re-assembly:

Yes, yes I do. Those pictures were taken with my parents' old digital. I do have access to a better camera now, though.

The next job we're doing is a Chrysler Lebaron convertible. The guy wants some rust and dings taken care of, and he only wants us to do the car in a single stage enamel. Yuck. But, it's his car, and we aim to please the customer. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of the project posted here in the next week or so.

Man you do some really nice work. the only thing that would make it better is take the moldings, emblems and door handles off. with all that time that you put into that truck those few things wouldnt add up to much more. it would just take the quality of the job over the top
