$250.00 "buy it now" on eBay, $75.00 shipping. Tires were around $800.00 @ Discount. My original center caps.

So your going to have a badass truck, whats the bill on it? Or is it worth the money put in compared to buying one similar

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.

Cool man, There is alot of extras, brand new paint and that truck, taken care of well will run forever.

For as the experience and teaching people that is priceless and way worth it, I understand that part completely. Truck is badass as well with the little things added makes it stand out a little bit more. Later
