to completely do over a f100 slammed, interior, paint, id do it for about 10-12 grand. But that would be getting everything really nice. Im a new shop so i cant charge the 100K that other shops do just because i need to make money to survive on, id rather make a little than overcharge and not make any.

finally i feel like the end is near. first coat of pprimer on the truck to check the body work. i still have a few more days of correcting stuff before i can spray some serious primer/color.
metal finished shaved cowl
another floor picture shows the drop down boxes pretty good
body working
and low and behold, primed and undercoated.

Hey, first off...great work...
secondly, how hard was it to fill in the cowl fins under the windshield?
3rd... what kinda primer..primer/fillers are you using?
4th! the body gaps in the last picture there where the roof meets the cab...
how did you get that line to look so good? I have been contemplating just welding all mine up. even the ones at the rear of the truck by the tail lights.

also, what welding tips can you give a guy whos welding with a Consumer 115/120 Mig Gas/ Electric. I havent tackled any body work yet...and havent welded any automotive... Which wire is the best. and I assume I should use the option with Gas as opposed to just electric?
Also what tricks do you do to when cutting and splicing on new metal to where rot used to be... I have a spot just below the top body line on the bed where the top meets bottom... there are some compound body bends....heres a pic
Thanks.

Probally as a new shop he does not have the radius tooling to do it. Takes some radial line development skills to make all them compound curves. I probally will need to tunnell my unis floor and modify the troque box to get as low as i want, we shall see.
I actually am more intrested in the chop happening in the back ground.
I will have to get to Tuscon to see your shop and visit Bill.
