Thats a tough question to answer, looking at the Dmax market, now, versus when I started this truck. I would say now, from a financial view point, I could buy something for not much more than what I have invested in this. It probably wouldn't look this good, or have many extras, but it would have a clear title.
If you look at how the market was when I started, I am way in the black. No way could I have bought something comparable, for close to the same money.
From a personal stand point, I can't put a value on the experience. I have restored my faith in my ability to do body and paint work, and have taught my son tons of things along the way. We have been on a mission trip with our church for the past week, working on homes(Katrina damage) in Moss Point Miss. At one point my son was kneeling in front of a truck parked next to curb, in front of the house we were working on. He had one of the other voluteer boys with him. When they came back, I asked what they were doing, he said he was showing the other boy waht "orange peel" was, and explaining how to sand it out flat. He just turned 15.
