UPDATE 11/2/09.
I went to the Body Shop today and took a few more pictures and updated my "Paint/Body Work Page": http://home.pon.net/wwotr/body%20work-paint

I was told that the estimate would go up by about $500.00, because of numerous "Worm Holes".
They explained it to me as, holes that are in the Metal eaither due to Molding that was taken off or the old "Slide Hammer" holes they used to use in Bodywork.
They need to strip down the Bed, Passenger side and both doors to Metal, find these holes that have started to rust, chemically treat them , then TIG weld them up. They showed me a few of these holes and it made sence to me, that if they wern't tended to, that they would continue rusting/traveling and just cause more damage in the future.

So thats the update for today.
