The garage hauler photoshoot
I have finally gotten to the point where my red ram is photogenic enough to do a shoot. I have been working on this thing for the short time i have had it to get it to this point it ain't perfict but it's good enough for what it is. I have done a complete tuneup,CAI,wheels/tires,removed the entire interior and scrubbed it then reinstalled,painted almost the entire undercarrage,fixed the spare tire holder reinstalled the spare. Added a cb radio,trailer brake controller,removed the old catback exhaust and added a new single chamber catback custom exhaust. Still gotta rebuild the front suspension,replace shocks,u joints,rear brakes,steering box and add fender flares [to cover the rust coming thru the fender lips, yankee truck] then i should be done.

Thanks John i have only had this truck for several months it was in good shape when i got it just filthy inside and out,took alot of elbow grease to get it to this point and i do like it. It does need more love and a repaint [someone did a respray and did not prep it correctly] clearcoat has acne all over the roof/hood.

I'll tell you what Lou you did a fantastic job of cleaning it up. As far as the paint that's normal Dodge clearcoat. Mine a 2000 and paint perfect but it's been in a garage for all 12 yr or it would have done the same thing.
