Before and After
 

So I've had the truck for just over a year now, and I thought I'd post up a before and after just for fun...

(All body/paint work and mechanical work has been done by me except the ball joints back when I first got the truck.)


Lets see if we can get some more before and afters going...

Before... (May 2006)

The accident... (August 2006)

Now (in the garage).

What are you working on right now?

I don't have a before when I first bought it, years ago.. just imagine a White '95 CC with blue pinstripping and a matching camper cap.


First one is my silly H.S days. Second one is when I thought I wanted to go all white. Third one is the present A12 wannabe look.

GREAT IDEA!

Here is before and after. One is of my truck stock, exept k&n air filter and custom pain job, and can't forget it was 2wd!

And after with tons of mods. 4wd and 5.9 swap, tons of performance and heavy duty parts.

What did the paint look like before?

... and wow, that truck isn't even recognizable from back when it was a 2wd.

Nice. I have the same color paint as Crazy and it is starting to chip off, flake off. Was this your first paint job you ever did yourself? Looks nice. I would like to repaint my truck sometime after I do some minor rust repair. Did you have any body work that you did before the new paint?

It was not the first paint job I've done... I worked for 3 years in a body shop, and altough I was not the painter at the shop I got a good amount of painting experience. And yes to the body work... there was not a straight panel on my truck when I got it stripped down to the bare metal (it was owned previously by a contractor that beat it up pretty good). I probably used about 1.5 gallons of body filler and it still isn't perfect, I really should have replaced some of the panels :(.

LOL! Yea! I can't believe it is still the same truck. Its been 7yrs since I got it. It was my dads truck first. I bought him a bronco (which is gone now he has a 04 z71), and he gave me his truck. He got it painted when he had it. so its been 10yrs or so since the paint job. It was a deep blue. Now its a teal or turquoise color. The paint is chipping now.

I got bord and thought I would throw down some more pics. I know its not dodge (Well one is) But It's a good before and after. Keep posting up some more pics, lets keep this one going.
