Any way we can get you to post a "how to" on dismantling the headlights? I love the look.

EDIT:few months ago, i started considering doing the windshield. i was thinking of some sort of orange tint, but not sure about color match. never thought of paint.

Thanks! No SRT clone either........... Let's just say the inspiration is from............. another limited production Dodge.............

Sure! I'll start working on it..... prepare to spend some time though. Not for the faint of heart.

You'd be surprised. Trust me. Ask me how I know...LOL! There's a damn near identical (well, not really, but ****ing close!) truck to mine and it's pretty much local! I've been doing what I do for years now...and this guy builds his beast into something closer than I ever cared to imagine, let alone see in person, in under a year. ****! LOL! There'll be one popping up like yours at some point, I would bet you that...especially after having pictures of your posted for the wonderful internet to see.

I had been on the fence about how much I like the Sunburst Orange. Now, after the mods you have done I think you have the sickest looking truck on here. No doubt there are others that I like (Switchblade and "Mayor of Truckville" come to mind) but yours is the most original that I've seen. To me, originality is the key. Unfortunately I don't have a place to take the truck apart nor do I have the imagination to come up with stuff like that. I live vicariously through people on here that mod their truck. I can't wait to see what it is you have in store next.

Chopperzen, Thank you. Definitely took some time.

2k1amberR/T, that would suck! But at least I know mine was first.

PurplDodge, not a Daytona either. I will be keeping this under wraps until complete for reasons mentioned by 2k1AmberR/T. Someone else may have more time on their hands than I do.

BIGGSOOO, thank you for the compliment. I too believe that originality is the key. I don't want my truck to be mistaken for anyone else's. I also take great pride in the fact that everything so far (except tint) was done by me, alone, in my driveway/garage. My kids have the same affliction. My 14yr old daughter (oldest) wants us to get an old bug and fix it up together as a daddy daughter project for her first car. There is nothing more cool to me than that. Wife even agreed to let me build a detached 20x32 garage for the project. Life is good.

The truck you speak of is blue and was at SEMA! I posted a while ago about making my truck look similar to the black one crew cab sport that was also there. . . that's all I will say. Don't want to spoil it for you! Looks AWESOME! Need the Mopar hood too!
