Transformation has begun!

[tourdemon]

I always wanted an SRT-10, but living in New England as well as at the bottom of a giant hill a rear wheel drive 500 HP truck just wouldn't work. So 2 years ago I bought an 08 1500 hemi sport with the intention of making it look like an SRT-10. I decided I would use only OEM parts, none of those fiberglass crap parts out there on the internet. It hasn't been easy due to the fact that Dodge did not make many 06 SRT's and when I did fine the parts they were very pricey. Needless to say I am well on my way. First part bought and installed was the hood, easiest to find and the cheapest. Last year I bought the front bumper after searching for months, finally found a new one at a cost of 1500. three weeks ago I bought the interior which is next to impossible to come by. Last week I finally got my hands on all of the cladding pieces with the exception of the driver's door and rear center bumper cover. I got an exceptional deal on the cladding all total 750. Last week I purchased the rear bumper, now all I need to find is the driver's door. Saturday my wife gave me my X-mas present, a set of satin black SRT wheels. I have begun looking for a used 5.7 hemi which I intend to stroke to 6.7 liter. I will keep you posted on the build as it happens.

Looks great. Can't wait to see the cladding painted up and installed.

Can you bore and stroke the 345 to a 409?

Looks great! I'd love to have SRT seats. Obviously hard to find and pricey!

Great idea! I'll be following your thread.

Got that right, paid 2000 and another 500 to ship them! But damn they are worth it, those seats just lock you in and comfortable as hell. 100 times better than the stock cloth ones, and they heated. Our trucks come with the heated seat harnesses pre-installed, just taped off behind the radio bezel. All I had to do was order the switches and a new bezel.

Very nice. Well done.

So not a big mod but still a mod and part of the transformation.



Also, I now have all the cladding pieces, will go to paint soon.

How did you do that LED strip in the light's?

Baked them to open, then applied LED strip to the blacked out directional lens.

Update: Cladding pieces are in for paint as I speak. Before installing them I have an appointment with a custom exhaust shop so that I can fab an exhaust that has the dual pipes to exit out the right side rear bumper like the SRT.
