Project took a dump need your advice
So for the past several months I have been working on my project. Rolling chassis is complete. completley painted, power steering, power disc brakes, drop spindles, drop springs, trackbar, drop shocks, crossmember and tubular tailing arms, tubular motor mounts and trans crossmemeber, aluminum under bed gas tank with sender -- all brand new from CPP. I have 6k or so in the chassis.
Now the problem... Body was blasted inside and out, top to bottom for $1800. Get it over to the body shop today and my body guy said the cab and doors are trashed. The roof is rotten, pass pillar is rotten, piece that goes from drip rail to windsheild is rotten, doors had been covered in bondo so didn't realize the huge dents in it or that the bottoms were rotten. Basiclly the cab and doors are trash. Body guy told me I could buy another truck for what it's going to cost me to fix this one. So what do I do? I have been scowering the net trying to find a cab and doors but have not had much luck. Unless I want to buy another truck for 3-6k, and whos to say it's not a rust bucket also... I am just sick to my stomach. Part of me says stick with it and find a cab the other side says stop sinking money in to this pit. Sell or part out the cassis, recoupe some of my money and move on find another project in better shape from the get go. What should I do? |
