Bodywork and Undercarriage Inspection

with mine, I always start with the hood open and I look right here. right in here. And I look all around for overspray. If I see any overspray on the truck, whether that's in the frame, it's a different color, uh, or anything like that, that's where that's a big red flag. This truck was in an accident. Hey, Tim. Hi. So, what do you look for on the body? I go through it with a fine tooth comb, and Tim can definitely attest for me. I went through both of our trucks like this and then I had them put it on the lift and we went through the bottoms of them. Okay. Checked everything through there.
