Well, got alot of work done on the truck today. Been working on getting some dents and holes straightened out and filled. I plan on getting all new sheetmetal down the road, but for now this will do

I think she looks WAY better already. My little helper is in a few shots, he wanted to sit in his future truck. Tell me what you think!!

He looks right at home!

RamAirZ · 11-15-2008, 03:36 AM

lol yup. His mommy says he's not getting it when he gets older because she doesn't want him driving such a beast for his first vehicle lol. I disagree

Cute kid, cool truck!

Lookin Good! Let me take a stab at those seats-- 2003 Dodge Ram?

72BlckButy · 11-15-2008, 11:11 PM

Nice progress!

chas350 · 11-16-2008, 12:33 AM

I like the seats. What are they out of? How hard was it to mount them?
Your boy is in luck! His dad has a cool truck, never mind what mom says

RamAirZ · 11-16-2008, 01:39 AM

LOL, yes the seats are a Ram, but was told an 07' Rumble Bee. Not sure if they are or not, but they are dodge. They were fairly easy to mounts. Drilled holes for the back brackets and used some heavy bolts and washers. For the front (since the bracket is straight up and down designed to bolt to a hump in the floor) I used some construction heavy grade 90 degree bend and bolted that to the seat and the other side to the floor, it's pretty sturdy. She has come a LONG way since when i first got her lol

Nice looking truck and cute kid. What color are you using to paint your truck I'm thinking about painting mine a Olive green and putting some faded military numbers and star on the door and your truck looks tobe getting painted a dark green

RamAirZ · 11-16-2008, 02:03 AM

It's Olive Drab green from BLP Mobile Paints. Olive Drab is the Military green color. The Olive Camo paint I used to paint my valve covers was lighter. I'm debating if I want to do the star and numbers, I'll decide after I finish painting it.
