Break it right the first time. Fix it better the next time.
It dd. I could tell this guy fell in love with it we he saw it and even more once he drove. At the end of the day it's the fact I know he appreciates the time and effort it took to build the truck and make it right. He has sent me a couple of texts thanking me and he loves it. I am happy.

That turned out real nice. Glad you were able to sell it. An older gentleman will probably take care of it well.

That's Awesome! Glad it found someone who appreciates what you did to it as well as the truck itself.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Truck sold last night. Went to an older gentlemen that really fell in love with it.
How much did you get for it?

How much do you think you could of got for it without the respray?

I got 7500.00 for it and my lowest was 8. I knew this guy appreciated the truck so I went down to 7500.00. Before I painted it I got several offers for 3-4k. It's amazing how everyone thinks a vehicle is a piece of crap because it is in primer. I spent 1k on the paint with cut and buff.

You did the right thing, and the good karma will come back to you.

Hopefully it will. I wish you good luck with the storm. At least you will have a little cash on hand in case of the worst.

Appreciate it. I'm sure everything will be fine. I have to get everything ready for my mom, grandparents, myself, mother in law, and my buddies house being he's out of town.
