Here's the latest. As you can see, I redid the chrome accent trim around the wheel wells to match the emblems and the grill. I also took a better pic of the grill so you can see the detail there. Grill was easy because I started with a black unpainted eBay special grill I slapped on there about a year and a half ago. I am out of paint and tape for now, and as soon as my buddy stops using my garage as his personal storage unit, I am going to take off the step bars and the bed rails and do those, then will come the bumpers and grill guard, all of which need to be hung to paint properly. Lastly I will clean mask and paint the wheels to match. After much himming and hawing, I have decided to use this paint for what it was intended as well as ecerything else. This will be a several week project but I will keep updating on wear and tear of this paint and each new peice I get done. Also you can see in the pictures, I did some interior peices to tie the inside and the outside of the truck together. I did the dash molding, stereo trim ring and satellite radio trim ring.

The labels on the tailgate are stickers on top of the clearcoat. What worked for me was the wifes hairdryer. Use it on its hottest setting, heat up the sticker a tad, and start to peel. You will get the hang of it after one or two. I woud say I got all the back stickers off and cleaned with goo gone in about a half hour.

 

New gallery pics up!!! Maybe when I am done it will be nice enough for a TOTM consideration?? Probably not, there are alot of nicer rigs out there.

 

Looks good!!! Once you get it all done, it'll be one pretty sweet rig.

 

Habeba, it was your 3rd gen emblems that inpsired me to do the same, I like how yours came out, but I had to do something a little different.

 

Well thank you!!!! I feel like my life has meaning now Yours came out really good to!!!

I payed 20 a peice for the Ram 1500's, and like 12 for the 4X4 becaus eit came with some other stuff dude took off his truck. Ebay is a wonderland of fun toys my friends.

 

are the Ram 1500 letters connected anywhere. To help keep them spaced evenly apart. I am artisticaly impared. If it is more than a straight line then dont ask me. I know what looks good. just cant do it ya know. Ya ebay is the way to go
