What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?
Yesterday I replaced the drain plug in my compressor and tweaked my sandblast gun with new fitting and better clamps so the hose wouldnt blow off it.
Installed Moog ball joints. 1/2 finished sand blasting (glass bead) my driveshaft as well as the bars and end pieces for the upper control arms and C clips for the lower ball joints.
Today, wire wheeled/polished the pieces for the upper control arms as well as the spring clips for the bjoints in the lower c arms as well as the nuts.
Powder coated them all(except nuts) with my Indy mix of powders. Turned out great, well last bar is still in the oven.
Now at 209 pieces Ive powder coated myself (3 others done by shop 11yrs ago)

I'm going to check the hose tommorow. I prolly need to change them anyway, they have orginal Mopar P/Ns on them. I'll do that when I get the plenum and timing chain fixed over the winter.
I'll be driving by next year. My dad is going to give the Ram to me (As much as I hate being given stuff, when live gives you lemons!), but since Purpl is a Gasoholic I wont drive it as much and I'm going to buy a 1st Gen Chevy S-10 Blazer or S-10. Is either a Blazer and Ram or a Camry...
Removed my side step pipe style running boards. sand blasted and painted the supports w por15. buffed the chrome. reinstalled w new hardware..took 8 hours over 4 nights..tailgate rust on pinch weld is todays project..
S plus 7 hours. Putting another coat of aloe on my sunburn. I'm tired.
But I did manage to win 2nd place in my class at the show. I was beat out by a well prepared and built '94 Chivy shortbed low rider.
