Thanks.. Honestly the thing that makes a job like this go smooth is the owner. He's been very understanding during the entire process and just want is done right. I had a lot of setbacks. Funny enough the car was originally dropped off to have the hood painted and he wanted me to investigate some cracks that were appearing on the passenger side.

Ooof, that's devastating news as an owner.
 
I will say who ever did the work before you was a fuckin bondo wizard lol. Car looked good in the pics. That floor took a serious hit as well.
 
I've dug into a few projects like this makes you wish you could just glue the bondo back in and send it down the road out of your hair
 
On a side note when I was a kid my friends dad owned a body shop and I seen him mix up three gallons on a piece of card board and then two people pressed it to the smashed quarter panel of a Pontiac grand am lol. He called it quarter panel in a can lol.

did you go with a harness kit?

No, kind of. Originally I bought a standalone Ron Francis engine harness and PCM but I routed the harness along the floor on the interior of the truck. I started adding bulkhead connectors and going through the body to clean it up. I the rest of the truck's harness is homemade. I was going to get a universal Painless harness and fuse block but ended up getting a Busmann fuse/relay box and wiring up the lights, gauges, ignition myself. It was the same work either way and about $100-150 cheaper. If I had more things on the truck like radio/HVAC/pwr seats or windows I probably would have gone with a universal harness kit.
 
Zero turn has been overhauled, brakes, tune up, new carb, deck rebuild and new battery.

Painting the hallway now and waiting for some base boards and door casing for the bathroom.

All the flower beds have been cleaned and old mulch removed and new stuff ordered.

Cleaned all the windows and storm windows on the house, if I’m off after may 4th I’ll paint the outside of the house. And garage.
