The Wife came up with a great idea today.
Since the cost of my Total paint job was gonna be $9K and I've got new seats coming in 4 weeks, and I've only got about HALF of that $9K,
why not get the inside Cab painted first BEFORE the outside!!!

That made total sence because I've got the seats coming and so i could get the inside painted, have the Rocker Panels replaced, buy the Carpet Kit, Visors, Dash Pad, Door Panels, have the Stereo installed.
Basically do it backwards and piece it out.
That way I could have the Interior finished and THEN do the outside when my settlement comes through next Spring.

I'M STOKED!!!

(and I'll shoot the 1st person thats says, "just wait until next Spring and get it all done at once")
