Thought I should post a few pics opf the project. Bought this 06 as a write off and am fixing it to serve as a daily driver or as a possible trade for a Ram. Trying to save money over buyinga new truck as I am also restoring my 70 cuda at the same time. Truck now has the fenders, hood etc on it and I am getting it ready for paint and working out some of the bugs. You won't be able to tell it was hit once it is done.

 

forgot the pics, this is when I bought it

These pics are from about a week ago, can see the new inner fenders, etc - also needed a new timing cover, ps pump, water pump and a million little things

And this last one is a 06 Ram we just bought to do next - gluttons for punishment

that dak is messed up. but the amazing thing is the door is not touched and the windshield did not crack, any other veichle and that would have been a total loss. i guess the boxed frame took the brunt of the collision

 

What the hell did it hit? Was the frame fairly straight? Keep us up to date with the build. I'm interested in seeing how you do on it.

 

Actually, the truck got hit high and the frame was totally untouched. Nothing on the truck had to be pulled, just the old inner fenders drilled out and new ones installed. The airbags didn't go off and the passenger fender and the drivers door were both perfect. The Ram however wil be more work as it was rolled - needs a new roof skin, box side, etc

 

Truck is now done and on the road, drives perfect, aligned perfect etc. Just waiting on my 20 ram wheels to arrive and will then post more pics. Oh Yeah, you can't really tell from the pics but I put a TM level kit in it.
