"VIPER" RAM SRT-10 Build 2014

[ejholt]

Just keep forcing more air in lol. I'd like to do a ported head or striker setup, I think the potential for 1100whp on 93 is there, with a serpentine belt supercharger setup. This really is a mild engine build, it's just a good combination of the right parts/good tuning. We are going to add another fuel pump and try out some race gas next.

I didn't think they manufactured the Striker Heads anymore after the company was sold off.

From what I understand, that is true. I remember there was a couple of sets sold here a year or so ago.

Sold quick.

I reached out to the company that had purchased JM Striker and he said they no longer have them and they were thinking about maybe a Gen 4 or 5, but it was "very early" stages. So probably will never be any of those heads ever available.

A few teaser photos. The HOK Brandywine looks soooo good!!! :rock:

Nice work, looking forward to seeing it all together.

Came across some pics of the audio system build. Gives you an idea of what the final layout in the bed will look like. Fit together like a puzzle once it's back from the paint shop.

Some more photos from the week. Viper Gunmetal Gray Pearl Dual Stripes are going on this morning. Another few coats of clear on top of that, assembly and buff next week, and hopefully taking delivery a week from today.

The photos of the Burgundy Candy Red don't do it justice that were taking in the booth of the doors and bed. In person it's so insane of a color and looks like a mirror, clear as glass.

Looking good. Your truck is going to be a show stopper when she is done.

 

[JMB Justin]

It will be one of the nicest ever for sure!!

Stripes are done and another 7 coats of clear going down tonight. Final Assembly starts tomorrow, buffing, and then I take delivery.

Killer Video of the Truck in the Paint Shop. You can see how deep the Brandywine is.

Looks like someone put a paint booth inside your tailgate. Lol
That's one hell of a paint job.

You can see how the flakes shimmer when they are hit by light.

Things are moving along with putting it back together. They have been wet sanding and buffing all the parts as they are installing them. FCR has decided to nickname the SRT "Jessica Rabbit" as the paint looks just like her dress from the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

They were able to get the rear window in, the interior all put back together, etc. Tomorrow they are putting the fenders on, doors, tail gate, etc. They are also going to put another couple of coats of clear on the hood, paint the grills that were silver to a black, and then work on installing the tonneau cover, spoiler, etc.

You can see how deep the red is in a lot of the photos. 1 of my favorites is the picture of the roof with the stripes, it is just like glass and you can see the shop ceiling it in.

Always loved the HOK kandy brandy. Are you even sleeping right now???

Lookin good. It's amazing how scuffing the shiney new paint actually makes it look better.
That's a pretty wild paint job on that Softail.

Very good Job!
