After 60 years - I am just now coming around on this one.
My dad always had a buddy he could rely on, especially for paint/body work. And it always took forever.
I'm to the point now that I hire it out, so that I can lean on the shop (in good conscious) if things start to slow down.
When I had the red truck painted I ask them for one week to do the cab/front end sheet metal and, about a month later, one week to do the box.
They honored that request. That put the build back in my control and, after starting in May I was done done done by September that same year.
