Restoring a 2021 Ram: A Journey from Damage to Delight
Restoring a 2021 Ram: A Journey from Damage to Delight
So here it is, the 2021 Ram that I showed you guys last week. We’ve already started working on it, and I can’t wait to share the progress with you. Initially, the truck was quite dirty and needed a lot of work, but overall, it’s in good shape. Let’s dive into the restoration process!
Initial Assessment and Disassembly
The first step in our restoration journey was to assess the extent of the damage and plan our approach. We began by removing the entire front of the vehicle. This allowed us to inspect the internal components and see what needed replacement or repair. As you can see from the pictures, the truck was extremely dirty. However, the interior, although dirty, showed promise – the radio even still had the plastic on it!
Working on the Bed
We moved on to the truck bed, where the damage was most evident. The side of the bed was significantly damaged, so we removed the affected parts. Cutting out the damaged section was a crucial step to ensure that we could rebuild it properly. This part of the process took quite a bit of time and effort, but it was necessary for a successful restoration.
Progress So Far
As of now, we’ve made considerable progress. We’ve removed the front bumper, the side of the bed, the grill, the shuttle, the headlights, and other damaged parts. Here are the key components we’ve removed:
- Front bumper
- Damaged side of the bed
- Grill
- Shuttle
- Headlights
- Additional parts
Next Steps
In the coming days, we’ll continue to work diligently on the restoration. We’re aiming to have the truck ready in about a week or so, maybe by next weekend. Our focus will now shift to cleaning the interiors thoroughly and replacing the damaged parts.
Looking Ahead
We’ll keep posting updates throughout the entire repair process, right up to the point where we sell the truck. Our goal is not only to restore the 2021 Ram to its former glory but also to see if we can make a profit from it. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed videos showcasing each step of the restoration.
Conclusion
Restoring a vehicle requires patience, precision, and a keen eye for detail. The 2021 Ram project is no different, but we’re optimistic about our progress so far. By carefully disassembling and assessing each part, we’re confident that we can restore this truck to top condition. We appreciate your support and look forward to sharing more of this restoration journey with you!
