We need to get you a Go Pro camera.  Sounds like fun.

I will Have one by the next Ramchager.net meet .

Safety bonus from work

Never a dull moment with you ron!

What brand winch do you have? Habor freight has their badland winchs for sale at $299.99. I was considering one.

Sample one...

Looks good Ron. Would look good in black to put on a body panel or white to put on a window.

Again though Im fine with a simple WWW.RAMCHARGER.NET if yall don;t want to get fancy with it.

I would actaully like just a standard "WWW.RAMCHARGER.NET"  white letters with clear back ground. I think that would look good.

Also anything with the Texas Flag in it will work.

BTW wasn't there a funny story about Sam's trailer sometime back?

If your talking about Sam's Old trailer that Noah and I bought years ago then yes. WE bought it. I hauled it from Corpus to my ranch 3 and half hours with out a problem. Noah takes it 45 mins up the road and gets $300 in tickets.

So what are your plans: will it be topless?  Cage or no cage?

I would like to Run a full cage on it, but until then im looking for a factory roll bar. Because I won;t run it topless until i have one. So I will run it with the top until I can find a roll bar or build a cage.

Want the 383 to go in it?

Nope, I have a decent 318 4 spd combination to go into it. I will probably save up and hopefully one day in the long future put a 4bt in it if the rc turns out nice.

Man, it looked like the tub you started with was solid. Guess that was just the outside huh? At least you came up with a good one to throw on there. Can't beat that. In the long run that money spent on another tub actually saves money. Had to explain that to my wife but once the light bulb came on she totally understood.

Keep us updated....

The orginal tub was rotted. Flintstone floor pans , rotted rockers, rotted fenders, rotted top. The other body ended up having some shady crappy fiberglass work done to it so we ended up buying patch panels. But over all the other black tub was in better condition. But still not without needing repairs. This wont be a show truck or beauty queen by any means. Just a trail beater and occtioanl street pounder.



When i get back I will take some progress pictures and keep yall updated. If it ever warms up enough rust converter and paint will be applied. It will be painted Military Tan CARC.

Noah has been busy.
body is off and new body is being prepped for paint and repaired.
Dana 60s and Lift are under the frame.
Drivetrain is on the frame.
Frame is being prepped for paint

Should have pictures next week when i get back home.

  Man I wish my best friend had a shop to use.  Looks like some serious progress is going on.

You too can have your RC build there!!! That is now the Location of Troxell Automotive! The Ramcharger is the first "Official" project to be started there. So Im the first official project customer.

And yes even best friends charge you a hourly rate to build your Ramcharger......... This one is going to cost me.... But it should be bad ass!!

More progress

So Noah has been busy

1978 Ramcharger - I finally got one , thanks to Noah and Troxell Automotive this project will be kicking off. He will be doing the Bulk of the work and I will come in to lend a hand and take the credit 

The tub is pretty rusted. By Rusted I mean your foot goes through the floor boards. So We will be doing a Tub Swap.
The Plan is-
318
4 Spd
NP208
Dana 60 Front 4.10
Dana 60 Rear 4.10

More to come.................... As Noah does more work.......... I mean As I do more work......... I might supervise......... Mainly Drink Beer and Point at stuff

I honestly don;t think we need any fancy names for the "meets". They are just meets, gatherings, etc etc.

But we do need to plan out a date for the next one this spring. So i can plan how many projects I will take apart and not have done by then.

Any more word on when we plan to have a meet? Spring Date? Just trying to plan in advance since im gone half a month. That and trying to get some projects going so can stop taking the jeep. Noah will be helping me with this.

Also don;t you think we should change the name of this board? Since we are no longer doing or affiluated with RamJam. Maybe just change the name to Meets  or Club Adventures. Think its time to separate are selves from the other site. I still get messages asking why we aren;t planning RamJam.
