I painted mine for 200$ in my back yard. Looks 1.000.000 times better and I still get the gals with it. I just ordered a decal that says (Panty Dropper) lol:D

As an Iraq Vet I'm looking at the desert tan, or od green... but I'm partial to the black as well... maybe I'll just black out the whole thing, I've been kinda leaning towards that... but I'm liking the od green with some black accents like bumpers, wheels and mirrors, maybe the rockers and fender flares... looks like I'm not going to get out of this one easy lol

YES!!! HELL YES!!! that is what I envisioned in my head... and honestly I don't think its beyond what mine can be... a little elbow grease, and a little weight from the pocket book but I think something that awesome can be in my driveway as well!!!

Damn straight. Because of what you're starting out with, you'll just have to put more into the body work before you do the liner.

I know I'll replace those panels and sand it down good, and touch up that rust (I'm actually thinking grinding it down, throwing some primer on it, then covering it with fender flares...) and slapping the liner on it it looks like it should cover a lot of imperfections... and im thinking it's going to be a great 10' truck... I don't know how much time/money/effort I want to put in it if I'm honest... I want it to look better, and better than just blowing spray-paint on it, but I'm not naive enough to think it'll be the magic cure to make it look like a million bucks...

I'd put rust reformer on the fender rust and do the same thing on the backside. Don't need them COMPLETELY rotting out. lol
