Wellllllll. The left side looks AMAZING the rockers are perfect and he put new door pins in so no more sag. the core has been replace and the front end is all straightened out. he said the fenders were coming in today and he already had the hood in. The hood is gonna look sickkkkkkkk on a bad note... he said he could have it done friday if i wanted him to use his "small jobs" or "backup" painter but suggested i wait till his guy comes back from vacation next tuesday sense its such a big job and it's a black truck

I hate saggy body parts.

Sounds like good progress has been made!!!

Did he give you an estimated pick-up day (once his painter is back)?
