Well, this has been an up and down week. Beautiful weather and the week off so I got sick and stayed in bed from Tuesday afternoon until Friday morning.

.
I got my bezel last week and while it is not perfect, it is a lot better than what I had. Then, today I get an e-mail from a fellow PYer saying the parts I shipped him were damaged during shipping.

It wouldn't have been so bad if it were just some parts, but, it was the four pieces of beltline trim that I spent many hours stripping and buffing.

So, now I have to try and file a claim with UPS.
ALso, I got a phone call from the shop today. They had my fenderwell patched

. So, I went to get it and they had patched it where the side that won't show is finished!

I just took it and will grind it down myself then use the truck bed coating to cover it.
I paid $78.00 for the bezel and $35.00 for the patch job. Anyway, here are the new totals.
Labor at 289 hrs............$5,780.00
Parts...........................$7,935.09
Outside Labor................$3,300.00
Gifts...............................$716.52
Total..........................$17,766.61
