2004 Dodge Ram 2500 (Complete Correction)

lol Here's a suggestion, remove the radiator cap, drive a NEW, unrice-ified Dodge under it and screw the cap onto the radiator. Discard the rest of the old vehicle. ;)
 
Oh my Damn. These are some of the more impressive threads. A detail on a 2008 Acura doesn't wow me. A 6 year old work truck is... work. Very impressive. Now that I ohhh and awed at all the pics ill go back and read how long it took you.
 
I like the before/after picture of the Tail-pipe.

What was used on it, to restore the Chrome ?

You know me too well buddy :dblthumb2:
 
Tad, taking on a truck is a tall order and doing it for your wife makes it that much more important, after all, she's most likely your biggest supporter!

The truck came out exceptionally gorgeous! I was impressed with the level of detail, even the rear axle and suspension got into the act!

To start with the truck was dirty and the blue, while a decent color, struck me as OK. The after shots of the completed job was outstanding. The blue literally jumped out and the color was not just OK, it was perfect for that truck. :props:

You left no stone unturned!

Superb work, photography, and results!!

I second what BobbyG said! Excellent work! I don't know how I missed this one back when you did it. It's nice that your son helps with your details.

Thank you for the kind words Dave, it's very much appreciated! It really is nice that Andrew also shares a passion for detailing, and that we can enjoy it together.

Unreal!!! Amazing.

I have to get on my Expedition with some of that. I like the undercoating and have been spooked about engine detailing for some reason. I think it's time. The tailpipes turned out great! Looks like your son is a great biz partner. :)

Looks great!! What would something like that cost?

Thank you for the compliment! Being that it's my wife's truck the price was negotiated down considerably. However if the truck belonged to someone else, being that it was a 3 step paint correction and full detail the price would have been $350-$400.
