About this Current Vehicle:

I bought the truck in January of 2005 nearly stock from a co worker. I used to walk by it everyday going to work and drool over it. After talking to him, I found he would sell it as he wanted to buy a motorcycle. We discussed price and three months later I handed him the check! It had headers, exhaust and a CAI on it, rather than that, she was stock. It was a good base to make my own custom ride tailored to MY taste and no one else's!

This was the first truck I owned, I paid for her in cash. Not having a truck payment leaves a lot more money open to buy modifications!!!

As of April 1st 2007 the new project has officially began! A Turbo'ed 408 stoker Magnum with a Full Fast standalone, different transmission, different rear end, and new suspension work is under way!! God knows how long it will take but now with my new job making $$$ and not having to drive her at all, she can afford the downtime! As pics and info come in ill keep you updated. Shooting for the 750 HP/600RWTQ Range and Low 11/high 10's in the 1/4 mile.

So if you see something you like in the supension, under the hood, or in the interior, keep me in mind as it will all be for sale in the future to help recouple the cost!
