New paint and rusted Doors fixed! PICS!

This project is not done yet. I am still working on the chassis.

After the chassis is done, I have to set the flatbed, install lights, fuel filler and mud flaps. I am also planning to weld a large plate in connecting the reese hitch to the chassis as one.


Before...

Wow! Excellent work. I assume you didn't pull the interior and match all paint?

The painting was done by a local body shop. Im doing the rest. The picture does not do it justice. I'll take some more in the sun tommorow.

Yes, the door jams are trimmed on the inside.

VERY nice! I love how they look without the silly belt molding that Dodge put on them. Mine is two tone red top and gray bottom, I'd like to have it repainted and do the whole thing in one solid color.

Wow, looks great! I plan on keeping my truck a very long time and will restore it eventually. These trucks look so good, especially when new.

I just changed my PR4 red to a viper red color, looks real nice. I find with the two tones the trim allows you to hide the seam which never comes out 100%
You can use more pinstripe as well but it looks odd with two sets.

Love the red without the SLT sticker and rubber door trim. The little "C" is a classy touch. Did they paint your frame black too since you'll be able to see it easy under the flatbed?

Otherwise, very sweet. But I'm partial to red.

If you look close enough you'll see the frame isn't painted. Still that authentic rust color

It's all Painted now!

Spent 5 hours with the point hammer, Wire wheel and the wire brush.

The bed is on and I'm working on the lights in the AM and the fuel spout on Friday.

I'll get some pics up here when I'm Done.
