It's a 2009 Ram R/T, one of the few built before Chrysler's bankruptcy. It's a nice compromise between the quick car that I wanted, and the utilitarian truck that I needed. I can haul my welding bottles and steel around when called upon, and it'll run mid 13s in the 1/4 mile. It's definitely a fun driver.
So I finally decided to do a sculpture of it. I took some liberties, but I'm happy with the result.
I started with the bed. The wheel wells are plasma cut with my Hypertherm Powermax30. Using the plasma is not something I'm as proficient at as I'd like to be, any advice is welcome:)
I put a little "wing" in the tonneau cover
The cab is started with the "tinted window" in place
Farther along on the cab
Front fenders cut
The bed and the cab are two separate pieces, I just push them together for the pics. The hood is starting to take shape
The Ram grill
Front bumper, headlights
Rear bumper, tailgate
The exhaust
The bed and the cab actually bolt together
And the finished Ram R/T
(I torched the metal behind the grill for contrast)
