He also said it would be about 3-5 weeks to complete it.
He would take off the doors, hood, cowl, bed, front/rear windows, and spray it all seperatly and bolt it back on, adjust, install weather stripping, door felts ect.
He would order the paint and spray a "test panel" for me to look at,
when i dropped the truck off to make sure i liked the color.

Bottom line was $6k otd.

I can live with that.

The "other" shop wanted to mask everything off and leave the bed on and they hoped they could do it for $6k!!!

This is what i was looking for all along.

The bad news (if theres any) is that he can't take it until end of october/mid november, because he's currently doing a restoration on a 70 c-10.
doesnt that timeline sound like he wants to give it back to you perfectly for christmas
