Default Restoration of My Dodge

Ok....im re-doing alot on my truck in the next few months so im starting a thread for it.

Here is what is going to be done;

-new door/body work
-re seal transfer case
-tear out carpet
-new control arm
-couple brake lines
-fuel line
-full tank straps
-filler neck
-air intake assembly (mines broke)
-grind down frame and undercoat it
-take off bed and pull out dents
-head gaskets
-have heads ported and polished
-anything that looks weak once i pull the heads
-exhaust
-paint job



Well today i sanded down the whole front clip and pulled out the dents in my fender. Re painted it with bedliner. Painted the plastics on the bumper as well. Now all i have to say is damn. The bedliner looks great ...i love the black and chrome look and the fact my fenders and hood dont have paint chips anymore....

Truck looks downright mean...i love it...only took two cans of bedliner to do front clip....

I have many pictures that will be up tonight or tomorrow....just a pain to upload on my phone....cant wait till shes done
