What Did You Do To Your RAM Today?

[crazzywolfie]

the color i used was chrysler corp blue. usually had to special order it at napa.

 

[dodge dude94]

Darn it. I guess I'll just start looking. Going to repaint the valve covers when doing the gaskets.

 

[crazzywolfie]

well you could just paint everything whatever color you want. you don't have to go the same color as stock. my engine was blue when i got it and i want to make thing look nicer and saw this color of blue on another engine and liked it.

 

[dodge dude94]

The block and heads are blue. All stock colors and I want to keep it that way. Besides, everyone does Street Hemi Orange and ****. I want to go with something different: OEM.

 

[crazzywolfie]

i don't think most people would be able to tell the difference. a nice paint job is a nice paint job. black and blue look good together

 

[dodge dude94]

True, but I do. And that's what counts, IMO.

I'm not bothering with the manifolds as I know those guys don't keep paint for any amount of time at all. lol

 

[crazzywolfie]

ya. they don't. it seems to burn off. i am going to try again in the future but not too soon.

 

[dodge dude94]

I've seen some rated for 1500*. Tried that?

 

[crazzywolfie]

i have not tried exhaust paint yet but i did try BBQ paint. funny enough the BBQ paint did last pretty good but it changed colors. maybe next time i will try exhaust paint.

 

[dodge dude94]

I saw some paint at the Lowes that was rated for like 2k or something crazy like that. lol

 

[crazzywolfie]

VHT High Temperature Flameproof Header Paint is good For temperatures up to 1300-2000°F (704-1093°C) but costs $15.50 plus tax per can up here.

 

[dodge dude94]

Maybe you should buy one can and see what it does. lol

 

[crazzywolfie]

not this year. unless i start selling some of the crap i have but don't need i will be too broke till next year.

 

[dodge dude94]

So...a month and a half?

 

[crazzywolfie]

LMAO more like 5-8 months from now. it is too cold to paint anything and i think it might be that way for the next 2-5 months. hopefully by then i might have some more money. i might be doing a engine swap.

 

[dodge dude94]

You said next year....


Engine swap? You yanking the Magnum out of your RC?

 

[crazzywolfie]

lol.

brother in law is suppose to be getting me a 96 jeep grand Cherokee with a v8 for free from a good friend. not sure whether i will keep it fuel injected or go carbed.

 

[dodge dude94]

Depends on how much work you want to do.
Could go Megasquirt if you get the cash. Stroke it out or whatever. I know you're low income, but since it would be a spare engine you could work on it when you get money.

 

[crazzywolfie]

started stripping my 91 today. once i pulled the valve covers off i was wishing i had a place to pull and store the engine until i could fix it. everything was so clean until we started pulling stuff apart.

 

[DodgeAddict]

I just got up & I'm getting ready to go work on the shop that I will build the frame for my RC here's the donor & the beginning of a Code **** war when I'm done
