This is my 2000 Dodge Ramcharger, it was made in Mexico and only sold in Mexico.

I found it in Cali and had a friend buy it for me and shipped to Texas. I have been working on it for about a year.

About May last year I had to replace the transmission, I went with a MSaine HP transmission... its been great.

I put it in the shop about October for a paint job and they finished it up in December... there was a lot of work to do on it as it was down to bare metal because the PO did krylon on it. Once it was soda blasted we found a lot of work that needed to be done body wise.

I am now working on the engine, I have Mike @ MRL Performance building a 408 Stroker. 420hp 500+ ft lbs of torque... It should be fun

After that is done I am going to focus on the interior. Once finished its going to be my daily driver for a while. It's a great truck with lots of room. Wish they had sold them in the USA.

 

I've seen one of them before, I really dig the look of it. Yours is looking pretty damn good, nice job.

 

thanks, its been a lot of work but I have enjoyed most of it.

 

The engine is finally done !!!! It is shipping out wed

 

Wow, that is cool looking! I've never seen one before. You should keep the thread updated with your interior.

 

WHere did you get this? How much?

 

found it on craigslist. It was not much $$ wise, but also not much to look at.

I am still saving up for the interior work, but basically I have touched every other part of the truck. Rear Axle, body, electrical, transmission, engine, steering column.

I am about to put an air lift suspension on it to help with towing and rebuild the front end.

Its been a lot of work, but its a lot of fun to see a 5300 # truck move that fast... and still get decent gas milage for the weight/ engine it has. Decent being 13.5 ish in town, 16-18 on highway and about 10 pulling a 7k # trailer.
