It's been a really cool project! The first "expensive" thing that I, personally, worked my butt off to complete. It seems that it will only take another weekend to "finish" it to the inspection qualifications. After that, a bunch of touch-ups and add-ons. The biggest bummer is that I've managed to keep the project under three grand, includes: buying the vehicle, body lift, transmission, etc., and now, the process to title it: inspection, registry, tax, etc. is going to cost 4 hundred, and bump me over my three grand goal. Besides the money, the part I really hate is that I have no control over how fast this phase gets processed. But Hey, I cant complain. I'm going for my drivers license on the tenth, I have a job (making money), and great grades in school. LIFE IS GOOD! and I have a great family to spend it with.
Hope he enjoys driving it as much as I am sure you enjoyed building it.
THat's the second comment I've heard about the wheels though, so they are definitely a keeper. It will look even better when he gets a set of 33's on there. By the time we add the final touches (diesel gauge cluster, and "diesel fuel only" fuel fill nomenclature), you won't be able to tell it wasn't factory. 
Looks like he got hooked up with somebody who doesn't know jack about this process and now Dad will have to do what Dad always does.
