Hello, I purchased a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 in February of this year, its bone stock right now, it needs a lot of repairs and upgrades, modifications on the truck. So I decided to restore her and place it on the internet for the world to enjoy I made a couple videos and right now I’m currently working on the bed and working my way forward. My question to all of you is; is there anything that you would like to be covered? Are there any modifications or repairs that you would like to see done? I would love to cover them as I build this old girl into a sexy beast. Any input, and subscribers would be appreciated my YouTube channel name is Shane Minner

Hey, good job. I watched the vids. On the paint repair, that large section; did you wet sand and polish, seal yet? Just wondering how it blended once complete.

Can't believe that mess that was under the liner too, decided yet on that?

Wet sanding and polishing I’m gonna do tomorrow and I’m having the toughest time between Bedliners I really like rhino but dupli color looks pretty good too from what I saw.

It still has the factory gear ratio in her but I’m gonna do all the work to her myself except for the engine rebuild and the lift. But I’ve already put at least 800 in her after I bought her
