Finally getting her fixed up
I'm definitely ready to have it back, simply because I want it back, but I have a car that I drive most of the time so it's not like I'm renting a vehicle or anything. They can take as long as they need if they're doing it right, which they are. I would like to be able to get some stuff out of my storage this weekend, but if it's not ready it's not ready.

They did an absolutely amazing job! Even my step dad, who has been a mechanic most of his life, said it's the best color change paint job he's ever seen.
They pulled all the interior trim, the bed, the exterior trim, and painted everything. The only place where there is any of the original color is in the engine bay, but I can rattle can that with black engine paint. I didn't expect them to pull the engine.

Very nice
Id add some factory style pinstriping or something to add a bit of detail, but looks great.
A plain color scheme screams base model work truck to me, and you spending way too much money for that.

Seems many vehicles today are solid paint, with chrome accents used with lights and door handles. Chrome is making reappearance on interior too. Those old enough to remember the flaking peeling chrome plated plastic of the 1970s cringe, this was a significant reason imports made headway into american market.
