Default Almost finished with picts

About 3 months ago I started to restore my 94 ram 1500. Here are some picts I took along the way.
Removed a little rust.




My helper acting like shes blockng (no pape on block)

A little clean up.

After 6 coats of paint. Thats right 6 coats of Glasurit paint

Now that the body is almost complete I will start on the interior next. This post will be continued.

Thanks. I have been in and out of the body shop bussiness for many years. I mainly turn wrenches. The body shop is at my work. As far as spraying I had our painter Pattie shoot the outside of it for me. She has been painting for 25 years at the same shop. Alot more booth time than I'll ever have. All other work I have done myself. Next on the list after putting the body back togather is the interior. Then next will be the engine. At 182k it still runs good but i wana freashen it up.

I'll prob beef it up a little. Bigger cam, open up the exhaust and intake a little. Nothing to major.

Haha. I'll burn it off just for you guys. Actually though rims and tires are coming real soon. Thats why I wasn't real worried about them. The neft bars are at the anodizers. Front bumper and new style emblems should be here early this week. I'll post more picts as soon as I get more done.
