Very nice work! Congrats! Can I ask what total cost was for the body repair and paint on the truck?
177 billed hrs of labour total from start to finish. Actual hrs was probably closer to 200.
Bill was about 13k CDN.
All in with the fenders, grille hood, tailgate, outer rockers, cab corners, s&b body mounts, steps, headlights, third brake light, and sandblast and box liner put me at about 18k CDN.

that's a great price, idk how they made a profit. That's 30k all day here in NY
It’s a buddy of mine as I said so I got screamin good guy hourly rate. Plus I helped blow it apart and some of the reassembly.

I bought all the iron, paint and consumables, and paid for the box liner and sandblasting myself so he didn’t have any overhead on the job. And also couldn’t add his 10% lol!

He has been doing bodywork for 10 years and is just starting his own shop so no overhead helped him a lot.

Almost done. Need to paint the tailgate latch bezel piece still and a few pieces on the frame but pretty much done. Added a pic from what it looked like when I bought it and what it looks like now.
