strang3majik Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Well...been messing with my truck here over the past couple months, and its finally done enough that I can take some pictures of it. But...I'll let the pics do the talking... Before:http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/allalone.jpghttp://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/docksidebg.jpg Stripes peeled off...http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC03765.jpghttp://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC03749.jpg fun stuff http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC03804.jpg Sanded down...(no pictures of it completley sanded...but...best one I have) http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC03868.jpg Directly after paint...(the painter sealed it, painted it with 4 coats of black and 4 coats of clear).http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC03883.jpg Dropped 2" in the rear...wetsanded/buffedhttp://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC04223.jpghttp://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC04123.jpg Same...in the mountains of Pennsylvania...thats a Carlisle sticker in the windshield It was in the show. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC04499.jpg And...here she is now...all striped up and ready to go. Me and my dad did everything, except the actual spraying of the paint. But, I peeled stripes, we sanded, we wetsanded, my uncle buffed, and we put stripes on (it took longer to do the grille and front bumper than the whole rest of the truck). But...here she is all done (sorta). http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC04886.jpghttp://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC04949.jpghttp://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC04930.jpghttp://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC04897.jpghttp://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC04978.jpg and...my favorite http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC04952.jpg What do you guys think? Just turned 150,000 miles after my PA trip, and it still runs like a top. Tis quite a torque monster Yay tire spinnage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Looks great. I always wanted a blue SS/T, but never could find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strang3majik Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Nice!!! I am glad you kept it to stock appearence. Thanks! These are one of those vehicles that I think Dodge nailed on the design, so, I didn't want to change it much. And, while I liked the plain black look, the stripes really do set it off. But, I plan on polishing the wheels in the future as well...not looking forward to that, though. Also, the Dodge on the top of the windshield was on the predecessor to the SS/T, the Indy Pace truck, which is the same exact thing, but, they had other decals on them as well. But, I liked it, so I had one made in silver And, BAD, the blue ss/ts weren't SS/Ts, they were the pace trucks. SS/Ts were Black/Silver, Red/Silver, Green/Silver, or White/Blue. The Pace Trucks were Blue/White only. My dad actually has one of those he's fixing up...haha. They're fun trucks though...they're fun to drive being they handle like a car (my rear sway bar and 2" lowering helped even more), and are basically just the lightest full size truck with the biggest V8, so, they move pretty good as well. A buddy of mine with a similar truck, just not an SS/T is in the 13s, and all he has is a tuner, exhaust, and a CAI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88TSI_Rob Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Looks great! As I was looking at the first couple of pictures I noticed the original headlights were starting to yellow and I was thinking: "I hope he doesn't go to all the trouble to paint the truck and leave the headlights like that". Obviously you addressed that with some really nice replacements. I hope the truck continues to run great after all that work you put into it.

I actually got the new headlights before I did anything to the truck, but, I wanted to wait until it was painted to put them in. The other ones actually fell apart when I took them out. And...I hope it lasts too. Luckily, since its a Florida truck, there isn't one lick of rust to speak of. I can tell that the engine still has a long life ahead of it, though. If, however, the engine ever decides to take a crap...well...I have super plans that ought to make it charge pretty hard with every stroke of the forged crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooterh72 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Very Nice. Love the dodge trucks. I have an 07 Ram 1500 quad cab and just ordered an SRT-10 Hood for it. Had some hail damage so thought this would be a good time to replace the hood. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-O Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Man, I'd love an SS/T in my garage. Looks great man, it's like looking back at 1994 all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
