Here is the pics from the craigslist ad (I didn't take any of it before I started teardown)...






Here is what it looks like right now...





I'll start a thread about it once I get some actual work done to it besides ripping it apart.

Yeah, thats a looooong list, but the short version... paint the truck either the new challenger orange or the snakeskin green for the viper. Drop in the 408 with a T56 6 speed manual from a viper and a 9.25" rear limited slip rear axle with traction bars and disc brakes all around. The wheels you see in the picture with 255/70/16 tires. A fuel cell in the bed with a tonneau cover over the bed and a 6 point rollcage across the whole truck.

For right now, I'm tearing the truck down to the bare frame, painting the frame, reassembling, and getting the body ready for paint. Then I'll go from there.
