Trying to wrap this thing up.
Owner doesn't want a "show car" so this thing won't get the complete cut and buff I am used to doing because of the amount of time it takes.

Truck came back for some paint fixes.
The owner had covered the truck with a tarp and the buckle came loose and chipped the hood and put scratches in the driver's door.

Tailgate also was damaged because he put a flag pole in the bed of the truck and it leaned on the tailgate and rubbed off the paint.

Got everything fixed.

Thanks.
He said he wanted a "driver" paint job but I found out he is taking it to car shows in the area. LOL

419 hours. There was a lot of metal work to be done. Plus the awful job of stripping 3/8" thick polyester primer from most of the body.
