Project: Betty White

Looks great love the paint matched grill and bumpers looks great.

I am super excited how the front end turned out! I can't believe Dodge didn't start doing it in this body style sooner

I love the sport look on it! Congrats! How much do you have in her, if you don't mine me asking?

Wow! Hard to believe it's the same truck! Nice job.

Man, you've taken that truck from beat down has been to bad ****! Went from an eyesore to something I'd be happy to have in my driveway. Very nicely done.

I've been driving Betty daily now and remember all the reasons I love driving a Dodge truck! I haven't done much too her these last 2 weeks. Need to let the bank account bounce back. I have put in a water pump because it was leaking, put on the factory mud flaps. I know you said they rub the paint so I had my body guy put them on and he thinks they will be ok. If not he said he would fix the paint so win win. I like the way they look.
The bearing was pretty loose but luckily it was still holding together unlike the one I did on a customers truck last week

I also got my LTx Shootout decal put on! Labor Day weekend can't come soon enough. Headed to Bowling Green Kentucky for an all LT engine event that my shop puts on! I'm bringing the "Shop truck" which is an S10

Thats awesome, I go to LSFest every year in Bowling Green Kentucky @ Beech Bend! Make sure you post a video or 2!!

I also have an S10 as toy but mine has a LS motor.

I love the tires!

I really like my Weathertech floor mats. They are by far better than the dodge mats that I first had in it.

 

[Mineralram]

Weathertech are good but they beat the crap out of the interior and scratch it all up, i love my ram winter mats had them 2 years now and come out every spring with carpet that looks brand new still after wintertime

Just watch the molded mud flaps cause they will eventually rub the paint down to the bare metal. I liked the look of the molded mud flaps so I put some clear body armor tape on underneath to protect the paint....see the pic below.

I did the same under my weathertech mudflaps, learned the hardway on my old ram when the mopar ones destroyed the paint.

Nice job on the re-build looks great! what the hell was on the front when you got the truck.

i always had a thing for dimes and always wanted to do an LS or LT swap..

 

[Guy who drives truck]

I love the story of watching this Ram evolve! It is simply awesome, the transformation from where you started with this rig... Impressive, and a damn fine looking truck too.
