Well I been working on my truck since the wreck I got in. I have put alot of work into my truck lately. As of now I just need fender flares and I should be set. I got the bed cover sitting waiting to get painted.
I just got the wheels powder coated jet black with a light silver metallic.
It took 9 hours of sandblasting to get off all the chrome.
I also got the "5.2 R/T" decals made for my truck. I have never seen anyone with that before.

Its gone a long way! I hope ya guys like it!
Its gone through many phases and here they are.


When I got it:

Later on with new wheels and bumper:

New PRN Viper Red Paint and 3in drop:

The wreck. Sad day :

Maybe because of the smoothed rear-end with the roll pan?

Thanks man!
I wanted to make something different from the crowd. I didnt wanna make a straight up fake r/t with " 5.9 r/t" decals. So I told the truth and said " 5.2 r/t".
Maybe it will be the new thing to do lol.

Looks good my friend!

Get that thing to sit a little lower, and put the stainless badges on lower - you'll be mint!

I know everyone hated the sagging bumper! lol

I finally figured out that all 4 front bumper brackets were bent so thats why I could never make it straight. Once I bought the new front bumper brackets the bumper just fit right in place perfect.

It's BEGGING for flares. Needs another 2-3" drop out back too...

Loving the paint, great color choice.
