Next came the bed sides.
Going to say that I got under the skin of Mark McGiver when I asked him about a price to shorten a pair of bedsides. He quoted me $2000... yeah so I thought maybe that was the "I am too busy price" which isn't really that uncommon but boy did that upset him. He took time out of his 2 month backlog to try to publicly shame me for even suggesting it...
Anyway I figured I would do it myself.
I knew that 12" has to come out of the front and 8" out of the rear. I also know there is a taper in the style line toward the back and I also knew that the center stake pocket had to go. I wanted to delete the fuel door so presto!
So I spent 16 hours on the first one and 10.5 hours on the second. I have since done 4 more at an average of 6-1/2 hours each not counting the stake pockets which don't take too long.
So I am thinking Mark's price is too high... maybe it's just me but this isn't an art project. He will always be too busy for me so oh well. Got 8 more to do...
