Probably the worst thing to ever have happen to a vehicle...nothing you can do but stand there and watch it burn. Glad you weren't injured or burned though, that is the positive. Your truck looked so badass and clean, could tell you put a lot of work into it. Hopefully your insurance comes through for you and it won't be long before you find another truck to do up nicely.

Man thats brutal hope the insurance pays out good to you. Oh well maybe you can atleast reuse the block and tranny, and get a cheap dakota with a 9.25 rear and start back from scratch maybe not an r/t but just as good once you swap all that in.

Holy cow that suck brother. It was an honor to see it in person and I hope your next ride is just as sweet. I'm hoping to make it down that way this spring for another DFW meet up.

That's my father, we where waiting on the tow truck to show up.

Im looking at a few trucks at the moment one is a low compression 8.0 to 1 408 supercharged flame red with the stampede kit on it.

Another one is a fully built 360 able to run 11.1s in the 1/4

and a couple of local stock ones.

Im not getting a Club Cab, it has to be a single cab, or last resort ill get a CC, and it has to be another R/T.

Good, IMO its the only way to go with an r/t. That red one sounds awesome. You should go for it. a s/c'ed 408 sounds awesome.
