Tough sell. I had a buddy who poured $60k into a 40 Ford pickup, bailed and got $20k for the whole shebang.

A lot of variables go thru the buyers mind and some of us have degree from the University of Hardknox.

I purchased a truck project once that all the body work was done, big labor savings so I thought.

When I got it to the painter first thing he wanted to do was blast it and start over, when I asked why, he said because I cannot and will not guarantee my paint over someone else's body work. He had a point, and he did find some questionable areas on the cab and I also ended up buying a whole new bed.

But ultimately the painter was spot on and made a correct call. 11 month's later I did get a laser straight gorgeous paint job that's held up for almost 20 years now.
