Roughly what would a freshen up like this cost a guy Dave? I plan to do a makeover on my 79 bronco at some point in the next few years and want to do it right unlike the last time when I was a poor high school kid.
It's got a little rust over the rear wheels and of course the inch wide strip on the bottom of the tailgate. The motor would need a little freshening too but the heads were done about 15k miles ago and it doesn't use oil. Wouldn't want anything super fancy just nice paint and interior bed lined if it could be color matched.
Ballpark estimate would be appreciated as I know you'd need to see it for a real quote.

I always took you for a blue tape kind of guy rather than green.

Blue is junk.
Only good for decorating rifle muzzles.

Callin' what Dave does to a vehicle a "freshen up" is like callin' a heart transplant "a few stitches in the chest area".

WOW! Dave, I'd always heard a hi-gloss black paint job was the most unforgiving of any... but you make it look like child's play. Beautiful gloss on those quarter panels, man!
Oh, and thanks for the brand name on the bed liner... gotta get me some of that.
