Well, as my father has told me before... things are never so bad they can't get worse... how right he is! After months of hard work (in my spare time) spent tricking out an extra set of Air Bulldog induction components for my Ram, Line-X really put the screws to me. My high dollar custom job was returned to me in the most pitiful condition imaginable. At first I was really upset at the extremely poor workmanship, now, just extremely depressed. With the amount of work required (by me) to repair the fiberglass air box base so it can be used as designed/intended, it will take seemingly forever to get it back to a point where I can bring it back to be "fixed" by Line-X (i. e. , resprayed with Line-X and re-top coated with bright yellow paint).
With that, I'm throwing in the towel and raising the white flag. That's it... I give up. I'm not going to waste anymore of my time screwing around with my Ram in preparation for the Timberline Dodge Show-N-Shine. I've spent every spare moment working on my Ram for weeks getting everything to my satisfaction (upgrades, enhancements, detailing etc. , even the chrome plating on many of the parts I extensively tricked out beforehand turned out absolutely flawless) however, I've gotten to the point where my heart is no longer in it.
With that, I wish all the other entrants the very best!
Thank you Rob for all the help and support you have given me! You are truly the best!
