Project RAM-BO ttc

[Rock solid]

This build will be for a tough truck challenge come early '16. I'm using a new bright ram body I found, Narrowed wraith front axle, ssd scx10 rear axle, traxxas big bores, ssd steely wheels, Hot Racing bare steel frame, irok 1.9s, custom trans/transfer case combo, and a whole lotta tube work. Here's the start.

This is what it looked like before I took stickers off and started the fender trimming

We call this American Muscle Rig in China.

I found this expanded steel and am stoked! It's light and has 2mm holes that can easily be tapped for a 3mm bolt, not too mention it looks bitchin. I've just gotta try not to over due it.

Here is the start of the bed base eventually it will be wrapped in tube work

[Rock solid]

Unfortunately I had too gut the original bed to get the look I wanted

[Rock solid]

I like easily this steel can be cut formed and tapped.

I was thinking about trophy truck when I first saw this bed base......

[Rock solid]

Still have some body work but here is pretty much what it's going to look like

I had too keep the big grill but the lights had to go.

Ya it's a bit of a wannabe distinctive pd raptor but what can I say he builds bad a$$ rigs!

Got a little more on the bed done... Didn't realize the awesome holy steel I got was actually stainless steel so brazing was a bit more challenging than I expected.

[Rock solid]

It's still going to need more bracing and shock mounts but the hard part with the bed is done

[Rock solid]

It is a little more Trophy than ttc but when it's done it will probably be more big foot than anything.

This is a bad year for the paint on dodges it's already sun faded and oxidized.

[Rock solid]

After removing the stickers (and 90% of the paint) I thought I might repaint it. But with a name like ram-Bo I decided maybe looking like an old worn out shoe was probably more ideal.
