I wish I could afford to have a pro do the body work! Unfortunately, I'm on a strict budget with the truck so I want to do as good a job as I can for now and then let a pro handle it when I've saved up five or six grand to get it done right. Also, my truck is a daily driver so I can't afford to have it out of service at a body shop for 3-6 months for body work and paint. So, I'm left with working on it myself on the weekends and wishing I had more practice!
