Sonny-thats rough--sounds like you have the means to get it right, hope it goes well. My fender cost 420 for paint--I knew it was $125/ hour going in and figured 2hrs plus material...guess I figured wrong. They did a hell of a job though. Some sort of tough under coat inside the fender and to me it looks flawless. $420 gonna make the first nick hard to deal with!
I got my rear hub from JP cycle and laced it right up. easier then I expected. I'll have a pro tru it up. Don't have the patience to fiddle with it.
