my newest Dodge

[CSnyder]

I just picked this up over the weekend. Cummins auto 4x4 with 271,000. I just need to find a good front clip and a cab and this thing is gonna be on its way to Offroad Magazines front cover. Anyone have any color recommendations for paint?

Chris, Chris, Chris... . I think you should ship it my way and let me have it!



Viper Blue comes to mind by the way!

 

[CSnyder]

Matt, it would be a cool twin to your 2nd gen wouldnt it??? Im betting your wife would say no though :-laf :-laf :-laf



I like the viper blue but want something totally off the wall. Maybe bright copper like a new penny? I really like the color of Duluthdiesels truck too. I considered going bright silver and painting the front end red fading out into flame tips with purple accents????

When I paint my truck I'm think I'm going to go with a red similar to what the Mazda MX8 has.



Sharp truck man! Crank it up!

I forgot to mention its a 1993 that has a dual steering stabilizer and drives better than the other trucks and it has a borgeson steering shaft and posi. It has some engine mods besides the pump turned too because this thing will lay rubber with ease and its not because it just has a new 4 inch exhaust on it either. Ill post some better pics tomorrow in the daylight.

Hey, the wife wouldnt mind if it was free..... lol.



Chris, on the viper blue... to be honest, its a pretty damn sweet color, and pictures do it NO JUSTICE at all, you have to see it up close.



Colors I would consider...



1. )Viper Blue

2. )GoManGo Orange

3. )Brilliant Black w/Pearl Coat

4. )Call Chip Foose for Direction... . :-laf

I vote for option #4, nice looking truck BTW, whats wrong with the front clip and cab? Looks OK from here.

The truck grew up in Michigan so it has some rust on it I dont care for but the box has already been replaced with a clean one. Thanks for the ideas guys! Anyone have Chip's number?

I've always been partial to that stock green color...

GoManGo Orange with a flat black hood. That is what I am going to do with my truck when the doors are rusted off. -Jason

It's gonna look funny with no doors, but the paint will be sharp!

It will be a HUGE billboard saying "Why not to buy a DODGE" I am on the way to getting 2 new doors. -Jason

I like that idea. And polish up the wheels good, too.
