Talk to anyone who has rebuilt a truck and they will tell you $10k is in fact a drop in the bucket.
since you're opening yourself up for critique, I'm going to give it to ya.that 10k number, altho generous, would be the price he paid 30 ish years ago, and then a paint job.
he owns a body and paint shop. he deals with high end hotrods, customs, and bikes.
10k sounds like alot of money, but in reality, its a drop in the bucket when it comes to doing a vehicle right.
he has some really really nice rides. the kind i only want to look at from 5 feet away.
i mainly posted this for your viewing pleasure. but for the right buyer and the right coin, it could be yours!
