Ram build<3

[modt]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just bought a 1980 Dodge W200, Its got a rebuilt tranny with a Transgo stage 2 shift kit, 8inch peterbuilt sunvisor, 35 inch tires, 360 motor, glass pack exhaust, Rad out of a 440. I bought it off my boyfriends boss and on the weekends Ive been working on it, We swapped cabs out of a 2wd Dodge D150, that was in pretty mint condition and put that on the blue 4x4. My boyfriend welded a whole new floor for me, (Best welder ever) and now were gonna bedliner the whole floor and back of the cab, for sound detening for my stereo <3 and sometime next week primer the fenders since there blue and cut the rust off the wheel wells on the box and paint it black, and do all the wiring next weekend. Ill post more pics when its done, but heres some of them, a few arent very good cause I took them with my cell phone, but this is it so far. Right now it doesnt have an exhaust system its just running open headers until the exhaust comes. Jesssuuusss does that thing ROAR. Its soooo sexy, Do I ever wish open headers were legal..<3

Measuring up the 03 Dodge Ram seats that are going in


The wheel wells dont fit after widening the fendors gotta do something with that. Almost done though, I will post pics when theyre done, primed and painted.




The fenders widened and grinded and sanded, almost ready for primer




Rust around the box, this weekend were getting in there and cutting all that out cleaning it up and painting it!


The floors welded and some of the rocker panel








My 35s and the 03 dodge ram seats going in!




Ill post more pics after the weekend Im hoping shes gonna be done soon, also my bf picked up this exhaust for it in the middle of the week and I think hes gonna put that in for me. And Im gonna screw around fixing the rust on the box!
