Pretty sure I shot myself in the foot.
Going back through the pictures I started to remember some of the other repairs and stuff (such as welding shut the holes for the XLT emblems, at his request).
After stripping the parts off to prep her, I discovered the core support/Cab mount was wasted. I brought it to his attention and his response was "do what you have to to make it good again." So I cut out and fabricated a new Cab mount section for the core support.
The B Pillars were suffering from stress cracks, this one I knew was going to be in the job and he agreed to throw in some extra to fix them. I welded up both B Pillars.
Also replaced the hinge pins on the driver's side door, after bringing it to his attention that the door was sagging and rubbing the rocker and that would destroy the new paint. Again, "Do what needs to be done."
I definitely undercut myself with the $450 quote to spray. Though I think he realized that, because he wants me to figure out what he owes total from start to finish.
