I got the parts to repair my truck over the weekend. New fender, headlight, hood, and filler/stonedeflector/valence (they called it all three at some point in time) for a grand total of 270 bucks.
Problem number one is that I have no experience doing body work at all. So if anyone has any suggestions, experience, or could lend me a hand at any point in time, it would be greatly appreciated and some form of small payment could prob be arranged.
Problem number 2 is that the parts are maroon and my truck is white. I want to paint them and have a few alternatives. I coudl paint them before they are even ever on the body or I could put them on and paint them then. I could spray the whole truck with a cheap maaco job but I really don't see that happening. So does anyone have a spray gun that could help me spray these parts? Jimmy? I also have a friend back home that might be able to help me out if it comes down to it. I can drive a kustom 2 tone til Thanksgiving. ***.
Lastly, I need to get the headlight fixed pretty soon as I have been pulled over for it 3 times so far.
Also I need to pull the pipe bumper out some more. So far I have thought of hooking a chain against something and pulling with the truck, or using a highlift between the truck and something solid. Anyone have any other ideas that I am not thinking of at all?
Thanks
Seth
