Looks pretty good. It has a few things that will need to be fixed but all in time. For those that didn't know, my Dad backed it into a tree one month after my wife drove it through a barb wire fence. Everything was painted except the doors and roof.

He painted the truck it was in the 60's outside. The temp dropped to Mid-20's that night completely out of the blue. If he had known, he would have left the truck in the heated paint both instead of putting it in the regular part of the shop. So there is a few places the paint kinda bubbled but not really. You would have to see it up close, it's not level looking. As I said he didn't paint the doors, and there is a big scratch on the back door. He said he didn't see it and will take care of it, but he kinda wanted to wait till it warmed up a bit. That's perfectly ok with me.


Oh, on a side note, a buddy borrowed it for a week. I got it back fully detailed and looking awesome inside and out. How cool it that!
