As a painter, I've only seen a handful of shops be this thorough and have this type of quality. I can tell you all this is a stellar shop. What a killer team, i wish the guys i worked with were this professional.
I am loving how you are documenting the process. Amazing how a body shop is allowing you to follow through the whole process. Keep up with the awesome content.
I have a 2005 2500 HD Duramax extended cab 6 1/2’ box. Four years ago I had 2 new front fenders, cab corners, rockers and rust repairs to the box wheel openings and a new gas filler door. I don’t winter drive it much but the repairs have held up well.
I've been watching since the start of the wifemax. It's definitely my favorite channel, so exciting to see what this truck is going to look like at the end.
Hang in there it's coming along. Now cut a big hole in that hood and stack your exhaust lol just kidding. Three's a charm and it worked out. It's getting there.
Lol. Yeah all the black is high build epoxy hybrid primer. It's to seal the metal before any final body work and then is reprimed and blocked. Then sealer, base, and clear.
How do you have this much time for this… and furthermore I am concerned for your piggy bank bro…. you are employing a massive crew on this now… this is waaaay more $$$ build than originally spoke about… OMG!
I know youre getting the youtuber discount because the shop is getting the marketing out of this, but genuinely curious how much all this work would be for joe schmo? Im guessing this is like $20k worth of work??
Easy. 20K.. The rocker job along has to be 1.5K between hours/material. The paint is prob another 2K-3K but the man hours has to be north of a few hundred.. Rust repair is the black hole of body work
Yeah it would be a lot. But heck most new trucks. Are 80-100k or. More now. Definitely would. Have to way out all the options. Someone else stated using a southern cab. That would be. A great alternative to fixing a bunch of rust. But swapping cabs could be just as pricey depending on paint choices and condition etc
If it’s rusted out and I’m trying to get a professional paint job then the hood is bad. We have all seen worse but I’m not trying to cut corners at this point.
You should have got a fiberglass cowl induction hood . Or just a cowl hood. Robby Layton puts these guys to shame. They don't wanna do any real metal work
Hit the like button everyone! Allot of time into this - let’s show some more support - should have way more subscribers!
Thanks Patrick 🙏

I really like how you document your work on your trucks. An diy repair on your videos. Much respect josh. Thank you for your service sir
Thanks James!

Congratulations on your cooperation, the way to modify the car is very neat
Nice work! When this truck is all said and done it will be the nicest one in your fleet
I still think the Wifemax is hard to beat but this truck will have the best looking paint job for sure
I've been watching since the start of the wifemax. It's definitely my favorite channel, so exciting to see what this truck is going to look like at the end.
I appreciate that!
good on u the shop is right in what there doing how there doing it any saying diff can go pound salt it`s going to sick love it
Hello Josh. Finding out that the hood is damaged too bad to use it. The tailgate is good.
2004 lb7 owner always wanted one im a body technician and. Need to do the body work on mine lol but i want to make sure my drivetrain updated
I love it but you should do a sierra you have enough cat eyes😂
Can a person have enough cateyes?
Can't ever have too many cat eyes 😂
I’m loving it,need and want more
Mill supply out of Cleveland Ohio had a ton of rust repair parts. That’s who we go through
Love it! I would love to have that for my first Duramax!
The arrival blue metallic would look good on this truck
Love the progress been watching since you picked it up
I appreciate it
Looking good man!! Your lbz is my fav! But this truck is going to look sick!
I appreciate it 👍
He made that primer job easy i would have so many runs
I would not surprised if this is a 15-20k dollar paint job. I’ve painted a whole truck before and it was definitely very involved
I have a 2001 GMC hood with a small ding in front of it. I’m in SW Florida. The truck has been in Fl. Since 2002
Can't imagine what this is costing these guy's are definitely professionals
Man that thing is gonna look so amazing!!!!
Dude I can’t wait!
@@TruckMaster me either great job on that truck and the videos. Very cool to see it coming along.
Its looks great.
It’s looking awesome
Thanks!
Please tell me you’re going to do some sound deadening while you’ve got it all torn down. Do you ever do any sound systems?
Again, indigo, blue for the win
Whats the cost on doing all this ? Planning to do this on my 06 lbz crew cab
Sell me that rusty hood!! 💯
Hood lip rust? Blast it, and epoxy, THEN use Cavity wax INSIDE. good for 15 years.. Year we got salt here.. been here and done it
Hang in there it's coming along. Now cut a big hole in that hood and stack your exhaust lol just kidding. Three's a charm and it worked out. It's getting there.
I bet this is all of 20k dollars. Great work so far guys!!!
You will save a pile of money making a trip to Texas or New Mexico for a cat eye truck 😂
I probably won’t restore another rusty truck again 😂
How much for body work and paint when it's all done?
@truckmaster fast forward to 9:30 and check out the dent in the door he just painted.
It’s just guide coat he painted it primer to see the dents so they can fix it. 👍
I commented to early😂
Lol. Yeah all the black is high build epoxy hybrid primer. It's to seal the metal before any final body work and then is reprimed and blocked. Then sealer, base, and clear.
I have a question of truck and I bought a used bed with no cracks in it and no rust for 400 bucks.
So how much money would you have saved had you went to the bodyshop first? That's the question..
I thought it was gonna be at every day truck
Me to 😂
It still can be. Everyday truck. We just have to make. It as nice as we can. Then it's. Up to Josh how. He takes care of it
Order a hd cowl off summit
How do you have this much time for this… and furthermore I am concerned for your piggy bank bro…. you are employing a massive crew on this now… this is waaaay more $$$ build than originally spoke about… OMG!
I agree but the body shop is working with me on this build as well so it won’t be as expensive.
I know youre getting the youtuber discount because the shop is getting the marketing out of this, but genuinely curious how much all this work would be for joe schmo? Im guessing this is like $20k worth of work??
Easy. 20K.. The rocker job along has to be 1.5K between hours/material. The paint is prob another 2K-3K but the man hours has to be north of a few hundred.. Rust repair is the black hole of body work
If you did this on ur own and paid a shop more like 30k
Yeah it would be a lot. But heck most new trucks. Are 80-100k or. More now. Definitely would. Have to way out all the options. Someone else stated using a southern cab. That would be. A great alternative to fixing a bunch of rust. But swapping cabs could be just as pricey depending on paint choices and condition etc
I can’t believe there saying that hood is to bad lmao 😂 I’ve seen worse
If it’s rusted out and I’m trying to get a professional paint job then the hood is bad. We have all seen worse but I’m not trying to cut corners at this point.
Ok, I am disappointed😮
😂
Your cheap Duramax is not cheap anymore.
How much is that paint job gonna cost?
A fortune now!
I think they could have used that hood
They could have but I don’t want to risk it coming back
We could have cut out the front and put in some mesh grilles. The rust was through the hood. From inside
You should have got a fiberglass cowl induction hood . Or just a cowl hood. Robby Layton puts these guys to shame. They don't wanna do any real metal work
Never heard of him
Love the content
Can’t wait to see the final bill 💵 on how much this cost to restore it!💵💵💵😂🤌🏽
