Re: Help me Rock My Ride and possibly win $500 for your truck...

Congrats!! If I may add something. I don't know what they plan on doing with it, but if it were me.... I would have them fix the body correctly with good metal, and have them paint it. That may very well eat up most of the 10 grand. Even if your burb doesn't look "pimped out" when they are done, the hardest and most expensive part is over. The interior and wheels/ engine can be done over time with smaller amounts of money. Kick ass stereos and lambo doors and nice wheels won't be worth anything on a ride if the package doesn't look good. And structurally the burb may not be able to take crazy body mods (lambo doors) if the rockers and other structural components aren't up to par. This is just my opinion. Congrats again!! I am thrilled that you won!!
