Re: Paint and body
One option that might work is to find out what young body men around the area take on side jobs and will do the actual finish body work in your garage and then paint it in a paint booth that they have access to.
Young hungry bodymen are usually the original Side Job Bobs. The guys I knew that worked in dealer body shops were usually fast and did nice work. I don't think that there are that many hours involved to get that one read for final prep and paint.
I'd suggest an agreement for payment at stages on the body work. meaning the nose = X $$ Cab and doors = Y $$ and the box and rear fenders + Z $$ how ever you agree to break it up. You can break it up any way that is agreeable but for the body dude, knowing that he has to complete a certain segment before he gets paid anything is an incentive to get in and get it done.
