She went in today

[rocket]

My Lady Evil went into plastic surgery today......Tailgate, bumper r/r,front bumper repaint and adjust,complete sand and rebuff, spears removed . and then a final clearcoat. let stand for 2 weeks then wax. fukken style.
All for 1,000.00$ She will be gone all week. Course now money is not so plentiful, I may not be doing the auto show in mid march..........gotta think this one out. But at least the truck and car and bike are all in good order finally.

I saw his shop on fb, and then noticed the place while at the moose club, so I talked and he talked,then I talked again....lol. He is a buddy o'mine from high school, so between haggleling and ****, we came up with that price and all the work that needed to be done. I supplied the bumper and new decals. Might drop by an mention that the decals are already in the bed. lol.

I almost forgot too post this,, I checked on the truck today....work is coming along nicely, however, I saw something desturbing and the body shop doing the work doesn't specialize in this area. I replaced the right side headlamp assembly with an aftermarket assembly. It was a perfect match. But now,almost 2 years later the polycarbonate lense was treated with clear coat and now it's peeling away, looks almost like the lens is cracked. I have no idea how too fix this. I could extend the eyelids but it's not a complete fix. Is there anything that can take off the clear coat and not harm the polycarbonate lens?? If I have too get another headlamp which brand doesn't have this **** on them? i swear if it's not one thing it's another!

 

[Oefootball_70]

I don't know about the headlight maybe JJ can help you. I know mine had a thin layer of plastic stuff that I pealed off before I mounted....

Sounds like the truck is going to look brand new again after all the work being done on it! Excited to see the pics!

 

[quietpeen]

[EJM05]

[Graygoose]

[rocket]

No, We drove by it, she is a dark brown! From all the sanding. I felt nausea when I saw her, gf was smart and didn't slow down!! lol.

Are you done yet bill?

Oh I'm done........I am 'well done'' lol. Truck will be at the end of the week.

Can't wait to see pics!

Yeah Ill post some up. She should look awesome! I wish I could/know what it takes, but I have no garage let alone a decent sander.......Better too vendor this out......and take care of the things I can.fluids menial maintenance.

That's an awesome deal. I just found out that when I move from Alaska my insurance company will pay for a new paint job due to the harsh conditions here in AK and the damage they play on a vehicles exterior.
