    It's all looking awsome and going together nice and your going to love that hoist. I would hire the body work done if you don't love to do it. I hate it but thought I'd save some money and do it myself but you'd be surprised how quick 10 yrs of "when you have time" pass by and then your sick of it and bring it to the body shop anyway. I didn't save anything when I think of all my screw ups and how much the body shop's hourly rate went up in those ten years when I did finally bring it to them.

    I would love to hire the body work done, but something inside me (some kind of sickness I'm guessing) won't let me do it. For some strange reason I want to try do everything I possibly can on this build myself. The time I spend in my garage is very relaxing to me and I really enjoy it. I already know that I won't try painting it myself but my hope is to do most of the body work through primer then hand it over to someone to fix what I started and spray the color. Time will tell but that is my intentions for now.
