Default 2010 Palomar Auto body - 2001 Ram project

We had a project in my auto body class at Palomar college in San Marcos, CA.

It is a 2001 1500, The 3-tone color scheme is based off the German Imperial war flag (http://www.militaryissue.com/product...category=Other). I and another guy worked on the body from Jan-June when we painted it. It was a group effort and it was a good time and a fun project, I learned a lot and here are some pics to show off what we did. I would like to know what you guys think!

There is still some extra touches that needs to be done here and there, we might paint the bumpers to match later on, etc.

i like how the paint scheme carries into the wheel wells and behind the rear bumper. Its nice to see the attention to detail. Truck looks good but it needs a new set of wheels. i think a set of 20's off a newer dodge would look awesome.

Looks Good. Needs a bumper though. Painting them and maintaining the color scheme would look great.

Looks good, just needs those finishing touches the others mentioned...wheels, tires, rear bumper, and I think personally, aftermarkets headlights and taillights. The stock lights aren't doing the truck any justice but like I said, looks good and keep up the effort.

Learning is great, and learning something you can apply is even better! I just finished my Millwright (industrial Mechanic) ticket in January and can appreciate your sense of accomplishment.

That was actually an error in the masking, but will be fixed and i agree on the wheels!

I fully agree on the aftermarket headlights, ram tail lights, wheels etc. it does have a stock rear bumper but it was taken off for body work and paint.

This truck had ALOT of damage, If I had taken "before" pictures you guys would be shocked. I worked on it from Jan-June! But it was fun and I might have to get me a Ram!

thanx everyone for the comments it makes all that hard work worth it!
