Future Upgrades

Sorry, No more future upgrades I have done with this truck what I set out to do, it looks as good as any RT and I have been beside them on street and strip and have crossed the finish line first. I will have to say good bye to it mid summer 2003 to make room for my next project:
 
I hate to leave Dodge for now but I want something that I could drive to Beach and still Run low 12's at the strip, and with my budget that only leaves me 2 choices 04 Cobra or 04 Lighting Not Sure Yet But One Or The Other Will Be In The Garage :)
