I can honestly say that is thing is sweet I don't think I have ever seen a Dodge truck like that laid out. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53
 

Looking sweet!

I remember way back when (76-77) I had two of these, complete with running sixes and Fluid Drive tranny's.. Never even thought back then about what they could be. Can't wait to see yours progress.

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53

Nice truck and fab skills! I have a thing for dodge trucks as well, maybe

reg cab short beds, but wouldnt mind to get my hands on one of this...
2wd, 2dr Mexican charger...now, that would be unique! cant register one
