Default Something going on

My truck has been in the body shop for the last 2 weeks and it is almost complete. I had a few dings on the right side of the bed (inconsiderate ********) so I decided it was time to pay some attention to the cosmetics a bit. Here's what were doing...

Dings on bed repaired/painted
Rollpan welded and filled/painted
Hood stripped, fenders rolled to square up with hood better/painted
Mirrors removed, smoothed and painted
SS tailgate spoiler, painted
Tailgate bezel and handle assembly (factory painted)

I really want to get a paintable grill surround and paint that too but $$ is too tight during the summer, I've got to share with the Bike too

Yeah, Gary is a character for sure. His guys do good work and he's not pricey. Very reasonable.

Well 3 whole weeks today without the truck. I've been driving this Hertz Mazda6 with a 5-speed auto and manual sport shift.....hahahah

The hood, bedside and rollpan are all cleared but the mirrors and SS tailcap need primer and paint still.
