Got the magazine Friday. Drooled over the way too short article.

Due to my lack of mad fab skills (read zero) I want to take the magazine to the local shop and see if they think they can do something like this and how much it would run.

Good thing they have chairs. It's a long way to fall from fainting...

best thing about that article is he has a bone stock 4.7 L motor and says it has plenty of power....with 38" tires! And we are all scrambling around with CAI's, low restriction exhausts, power wires, tuners, etc for an extra few HP.......funny....

yup.....you read right....i quote form the article: "Under the hood of the big Mopar rests the factory 4.7L engine. While the owner chose to keep the V-8 mostly stock, he does report that the engine has plenty of power for his needs..."

And before I can head over to the shop to ask about prices, my wife, woman that I love , tosses the magazine away.

Well, she did ask if it could be bought again... I think I'll keep her...
