Looks good.
What do you think it cost you to paint it?

I'd say thats pretty good considering I have a regular cab short bed and I got 2 quotes today for a total repaint at $1,830 and $2,380.

That would be nice, but I have no auto body experience or a good place to do it. I can do all of the interior and mechanical work, but the body work and paint are out of my wheel house. Its awesome to see others with successful results like yours though.

I want to repaint mine too.
I have a reg cab short bed but I have to replace some body panels first.

I'm thinking about staying with the same factory smoke with pin striping down the side.

Lucky enough for me when my dad was in high school he worked on his teachers cars and their body work. So he taught me everything.

How did you take care of your rear fender wheel arches? I assume some sort of patch panel? How did you deal with the inner wheel well? Have any pics of what the state of rot was before you cut her up?

Sorry for all the questions! I'm going to be doing he rear wheel arches soon too, and just interested in others who have done the same.

Great job! And thanks for sharing!!

You can buy replacement patches for the quarter panels... If you look at the picture you can see where I cut out. Everything that I cut out was rotted ... Someone ha previously patched and foamed the wells... An excessive amount of grinding was involved to grind down all the putty they had on it. It was all rotted out under the putty... But it's alot of work .... Took me all winter working on it every night after work to get it done.

I assume that $600 is not including the cost of a compressor and other hardware? I want to do my own body work, but need a compressor first.
