My Dodge Dakota New Paint Job & Performance Upgrades

I know I havent done a truck video in awhile as been a busy years racing and upgrading parts on the truck here is a video showing the changes I have made. In April / May I had upgrated the top end of the engine with new heads, intake, throttle body and bigger headers, later in the summer it got some fresh paint.

I would ditch the chrome bumper, put a roll pan in it i dont imagine you need the tow hook..either eh? Its a nice looking truck though..I have had a 89 before they are sick..now i have 3 of these trucks...a 94 2wd show truck with a 360 being built for it, a 95 4x4 318 and a 96 4x4 318 manuel...they are sooo fun to drive...painting the interior is very easy to the show truck is fully customized and it was simple. still very nice truck..nice to see its not a stick on hood scoop.

@frankenstein04 Actuall i do need the trailer hitch and bumber as I do some Hot Shot Hauling with it, and it is a "stick-on" scoop, I just took the time to cut out the hood to make it full functional. Coming soon I'm currently building a 426 Magnum to put in my truck

Nice truck, looks good with a new paint job. The only thing i have a problem with on your truck is that if your going to put a hood scoop on your hood, to make it look right and not so fake. you should have molded the scoop into the hood and made it look more as if that was a custom hood instead of just a hood scoop 3M'd to your hood. otherwise its a nice truck. I have an 06' Dakota ST V6. done a few things to mine. Good work man

@sunfire84 When I had truck painted it was discussed about fiberglassing in the scoop, but I opted not to as if it were damaged then replacement would be a big ordeal. shit luck be told 3 months after having paint done I huge chunk of ice come off a semii truck and went in the scoop opening cracking it in several spots. So looks like that was a good choice to not fiberglass it in
