A Red Truck

Tori bought my grandparents truck after my Grandfather passed away. It was a good deal, the price was right, and the mileage was low. The cosmetics were a little bad and since she has had it... there have been a few dents and dings...(remember the tailgate incident? if not, you can read about it here: http://tntacres.blogspot.com/2010/06/oh-those-beautiful-steps.html).

For her birthday she asked many people to contribute to her a new paint job for her truck. In typical fashion at our house, if you want something done you often have to help. While Rod was outside working on his garden, he supervised Tori doing the body work on her truck to get it ready for painting. This included bondo, sanding, etc. For a beginner, she did a good job.





When it came to take it to the shop to have it painted, she decided to just go with a cheap paint job (about $650) and change the color to red. As you can see the final product was WELL WORTH THE MONEY! She is so excited and proud of her truck now. The only fault she has with it is the fact that it takes gas and I make her use her money to put gas in the tank. (ok, not all the time, Rod did go fill it up for her just last night :-))
