DaElv Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 so i decided i should start my build thread since im working on my truck just about every day in some way... today i made a rough airdam out of aluminum (still need to shape,any ideas?) and i installed a 21/4 in tach from harbor freight, and i started on the much needed body work..... the dents that bugged me the most were the rear corners so i did some work in my body class tonight... this was a couple months ago how i got it this is now and the airdam (any ideas for shape?) tires in gutter damn dents and progress just showing off my brothers lift :P Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 That airdam really isnt my style, but the rims and body work look great. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 That airdam really isnt my style, but the rims and body work look great. Try painting the airdam black or grey, get one of the photoshop guys here to do it up for ya to get an idea, kinda stands out too much I think. But overall I like it. Quote Link to comment
Lee R Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 It's a good idea, but needs better lines. Cut and shape it a little using pictures of various BRE air dams. Yours looks like a square dobi air dam. I like the paint and wheels. :) Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not a fan of those wheels on the norm, but they are working on your truck. Very well, I might add! Welcome to Ratsun. Keep up the work! Quote Link to comment
danzo620 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Sweet lookin truck. You've done some great work. Here's a quick photoshop of your truck with the BRE air dam on it. Personally not always a huge fan of the air dam, but I think it could definitely work on your truck. 1 Quote Link to comment
