I have now had some time to crawl around the truck in detail. Jason really did amazing work. Paint is 9.8/10. A repaint will never look like a factory job but this did amaze me. So much better than the respray on the 80.
The frame and undercoating are super well done.
This is not a 100% pefect frame off resto job like Proffits is doing, but for the price I think its a better deal. I wont feel afraid to daily drive when the roads are good and do some light low risk wheeling and camping.
Work is far from done. The interior is still gutted and a front axle rebuild is on the short list. Carpet is here but I have not settled on sound reduction yet. I have a good headunit picked out
I was thankful for the 5 speed on the way home. One of the reasons I bought this truck. Not too bad holding 70 as long as its flat. Actually did some passing on 70 today.
The 80 got kicked out of the garage.
