Factory Muscle Truck gets Faster! Stacey David's Ram 1500 Express DRAG'N'WAGON Full Build on Gearz
For a long time, I had been bangin’ on the door of the OEM’s and asking them to come out with an AFFORDABLE performance vehicle. Something with a stick and a V8 for cheap. I tried Ford with the Mustang, Chevy with the Camaro, and Dodge with the Challenger, and was not only turned down by all three, but some even laughed at the idea. However, the American public wasn’t laughing… they were getting angrier and more fed-up every day with the fact that even in the heart of a serious recession, the prices for the above named V8 muscle cars continued to stay ridiculously high. Finally, I decided that if we can’t do it with a car, maybe we could do it with a truck and approached Dodge’s RAM Truck division.
Meanwhile, the guys at RAM truck had secretly been putting together a program for the exact vehicle I was looking for… the RAM 1500 EXPRESS. This is a regular cab, short bed truck with a 390hp 5.7 Hemi, roll up windows, and rubber floor mats. A modern-day take on the ’68 Roadrunner concept if there ever was one! The price tag wasn’t as low as I wanted, but at just a hair over $20K, it is almost 10 grand cheaper than a comparable V8 powered muscle car, and a heck of a bargain. So, when the opportunity came to hook up with RAM Trucks and showcase the very first Express on GEARZ, we jumped at the chance, and the DRAG’N’WAGON was born!
The Idea behind the DRAG’N’WAGON is to show case the incredible potential and affordability of the EXPRESS package and encourage the viewers to build their own cool vehicle instead of just buying what is sitting at the dealership. With RAM providing an affordable base vehicle in the EXPRESS, a person can use the aftermarket to build a one-of -a - kind truck that will run with all those high-dollar muscle cars and still keep money in your pocket. The name DRAG’ N’ WAGON came from mixing a little of the DNA of the original SUPERBEE with some essence of the legendary LITTLE RED WAGON wheel stander, and then stirring is some modern Dragon folklore. What we ended up with is a vehicle that is totally unique… and 100% Mopar.

    I went back to using drill bits except I grind it to a more shallow angle. Spot weld cutters are expensive wear out quickly and are virtually impossible to sharpen and they are a pain to use if its angled even slightly wrong it jumps all over the place. Also spot welds are never perfect but I've had pretty good luck using scrapers from harbor freight to get In between the seams.

    Automotive Body Tech. Here. Spent many days doing this. The worst thing is insurance companies will make you get part of a car that's been cut off with a torch, like a quarter panel. Then you gotta remove the one on the car you are repairing. Then remove the one from the used car section. Then put it on the repair car. All without destroying the used one in the process. It is very thin metal. Lots of welding, cutting, panel adhesive, sound deadening, body filler, rust protection, ect. There is also a small hand held belt sander that can be used to go through the weld but only on the panel being replaced. Doing this really beat my hands up over the years. I won't do it anymore!! DONE WITH ALL THAT B.S.!!!

    I welded for 20 years with Lincoln and Miller welders. The Millers gave me nothing but trouble. I bought the Lincoln from my Boss when I retired and it's in my garage now, still working like new. The Auto Set feature on the 170 and 190 models we used, never did work right. Luckily the labeled instructions detailing recommended settings inside the door made it irrelevant.

    Always keep a tire inflator in your car. If your spare tire pressure is low, you'll be able to pump it up enough to get you to a gas station where you can top it off.
