Savin,
Yep. Bare metal - it's a pretty sight. But primered metal makes me even more excited.
Yes - that is my wife - it's her truck and she has done much of the work!
I am doing/ have done my own body work. There is a thread over in the body work forumn of this site titled "sheet metal repair" or something like that. MARTINSR makes some outstanding advice as to what tools to purchase.
