I'm going for it...

Spent a while yesterday talking to my paint and body man, and it looks like I am going to go for it. We are going to do a frame off restoration of my truck. We are going to take the body off the frame, sandblast it, fix the bad spots with new metal, new interior, new glass, new gaskets, etc.. This isn't going to be cheap, but my truck will be straight and true when I get it back. Wish me luck. This is going to take around 9 months which is fine, since I don't need to drive it daily.
