WHat do you guys think CASUE I'm at a loss as far as what to do first....Ie how to tackle this project on a semi budget.

1. Should I just leave the performance alone for now and attack the body IE. New cab, paint and such

OR

2. Should I just paint the whole semi rusted thing rattle can "insert color here" "Maybe flat cat yellow or flat black) for now and add a hood stack and build the motor seeings as it is my play toy now then when I got a great running driving truck add new body parts like a cab and back to no hood stack!......who knows any more NOT THIS GUY

 

well assuming your talking about a doge truck<
is it 2w or 4w ?
ide park it>start taking measurements >then go to the salvage yard looking for body`s!

up in your area there should be some bodys of older cars that are large enough to fit.
find one that fits & fits your fancy!

ALL THIS IS ASSUMING YOU HAVE A PLACE TO WORK INSIDE& THE TOOLS NEEDED.

YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE- JUST PATIENCE AND BE WILLING TO PLAN & LEARN>

YOU`VE ASKED A QUESTION WITH OUT GIVING US MUCH INFORMATION !

I HOPE THIS GIVES YOU SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT !

YEah its for the dodge in my sig. yeah its 4x4

 

I'd turn it into a pulling truck if it were me..

 

I dont want a stricly comp. truck just something good and strong

 

work on drivetrain and power. make a sleeper out of it! people would roll up on you and look at a rust bucket and then get their tails whooped

 

Thats kind of what I was thinking...also why should I put all the new body parts on just to wrench on the motor and bang my new paint,sheet metal

 

Wrong time of the year for body work up in the rust-belt.

 

EXACTLY! Git r dun and post pics and time slips!

 

not in my new garage

 

Kyle, Make a sleeper out of it!!!!

 

Yeah it could be the DTR and or MWDC project rust bucket and absolutly blow the snot off diesel powers project rust bucket LOL
