Alabama thread!

Not here. Still in the 80s, weird we get different temperatures....

 

Ok so I know I’m picky but when I picked up the truck from the body shop yesterday they were closed. I knew they’d be closed the time I got there so I just told em to leave the key in the truck and I’d pick it up after hours so I didn’t have to leave work too early. Looking at the repairs the truck looked as it should on passenger side doors but the bed looks like something I’d do with my experience in body repairs and paint.

Anyway the body shop waived my deductible so hate to complain but this stood out like a sore thumb looking at it.




Edit - first pic is the side of the bed from factory. Second pic is the other side where there was body work and there are sanding scratches at the leading edge. The pictures don’t do it justice as you can stand up and look at it face to face and it even looks discolored.

 

Here are two different angles to possibly see it better.

 

well i think I am going to float buck creek today. feels pretty good out.

 

did you wreck your truck or something?

 

Going from Buck creek in downtown Helena into the cahaba is a good float.

 

No. Few weeks ago a big storm came through. That morning I was detailing the truck and then the storm came right as I was finishing up. I accidentally left a patio chair close to the truck and it blew the chair down the side of the truck leaving several dents and scratches.

 

I'd have to go talk with them about that. It sounds like its worse than the picture shows and the 2nd picture looks pretty rough IMO. It's great that they waived the deductible but it doesn't excuse them from doing a professional job.

 

yep.

did it last week. I am really wanting to get in by the chevron on 52 by the big curve float down to the top of the dam. i hear it is decent.

 

Hung up the sliders this morning. Cleaned and primed. I'll paint them tomorrow.

 

I tagged you in the BAMF free gear giveaway!

 

Thanks, I am always up for free stuff. Hope one of us here wins.

 

Hey I wanna win! Haha

 

@stronghammer here's my nephew's we were talking about.

 

Yeah I’ll call em Monday. They had the truck 8 business days figured it’d look great when done.

 

And its navy?! Ugh...tell him I want it.

 

cut it off and get a high clearance rear bumper!

 

I’d build one for someone else at some point, they would just have to leave me their truck for a couple days.

 

Thanks man! Holla at me! Maybe I’ll have a shop by then
