My daily driver at the moment is a Dodge Ram Van hehe but I will have my baby back on the road soon. Lot's of work to do and many late nights but 400rwhp is worth it :P I will try to post pics as I go.
I spent a lot of time posting all these pictures and info to help you viewers with information and an insight into what it takes to accomplish such a project. Of course there is a lot more to it than you will see from the pictures, but this is a good overview to what I did. It was a longer process than I thought it would be. Enjoy!
