ran me $350 so I'm not in the hole too deep on it... the rust on it looks worse than it actually is, it's surface rust that's a few years old. I'm pretty sure it'll come right off with some coaxing, but there's a lot of it. it's incredibly simply built... for example, the doors are just flat hunks of sheet metal with some bracketry tack welded onto the inside. if need be, I could just cut a new door. all 3 sides on the bed lift out, and there's just bars welded to them that fit into the brackets underneath. they're rusted in right now, but I'll knock them out and if I can't blast them, I'll cut new metal. There are 8 mounting points total, so if i wanted to get crazy, I suppose I could build a wider flatbed or even a little dump bed, which would be cool, but that's way down the road. I'm still undecided on color entirely... I kicked around the idea of a busa engine and all that, but it's a lot of money. as it sits now, it's about 1" off the ground... i can't tell really, it's sitting in grass, but it's low.
and yes, I'm sorry, I know I get wordy when typing... which is completely opposite of me in person, where I barely talk.
