Thanks. I will keep posting pics as I go along. You wanna talk about body work, you should have seen the dents in this truck before I started. Theres a short video of my truck on youtube "Cummins724". I had to replace everything, but the cab. Luckily my roof wasn't too bad.

Color really looks great in the sun. Even out, not something you see every day. Nice job.

I think I'm going to end up replacing everything but the RF fender and the right side doors. Not real sure what to do with the cab yet, the left rocker is junk due to an accident the previous owner was in, and the roof is full of hail dents. I guess I'll just have to see what the most cost effective route is, if there is such a thing when doing this kind of project.

Thats what I thought until I tore the truck apart. You'll find more rotted parts as you go.

2 of my doors looked perfect. Once I took the rubber off the bottom, they had rust under the lip. I was P'D to see that. I am building a 100% rust free truck no matter what, then Line-x it to keep it that way.

Man your truck is looking AWESOME! I can really respect a guy doing all that work himself, I know how much work it is. And you get that satisfaction that you did it yourself, you can stand back and look at it and say, I did that. Also im not sure if you mentioned it in an earlier post but are you going to put that black sticker back on between the windows? Its one of the things that makes dodge different than all the other makes.

That color is deep and full body. I like colors that grab you and pull you in. Thats the best way that I can put that color.
