Hey tastyklair
To answer your question, here is what I have into it:
motor: $3000
tranny: $800
axles: $1200
paint: $1800
interior: $1300
other do-dads:$3000 (rims, rhino lining...)
Who knows how much $$ in labor, I did a lot myself with help of friends and family over 5 years, here and there, wore out 1 air compressor in the process about 3 cheapo grinders and broke numerous wrenches not to mention knuckles.... I would think about $12000 in parts, I wouldn't let her go for less then $15000 minimum though. Had a lot of fun, doesn't feel like 5 years, but I do know I'm ready to start driving her and showing her off!

So what did you paint the frame with? Anything new or exotic. Looks good. When I see something like that I want to just get out to the garage and start again on my project. Haven't touched it for almost a year.

I used POR15 on just about everything underneath except under the cab I used Rocker Guard and then undercoated it with rubber undercoating (It was given to me for free from a buddy! Didn't want to waste it!)
Know what you mean about working on it. That is what is nice about having a 3 car garage. I could just leave it as is without having to pick anything up and come back later.
