muggiedays of summer

Been a bit since my last post, as much as I try I just am not writing as much as I'd like. Lack of time is a bitch.
About 3 months ago we lost the RT , It was totaled at a stop light by some yaho not applying he brakes at a stop light, The truck is now 6" shorter.
 So the hunt began for a replacement tow rig. As much as I loved that RT , the only thing missing is the 4x4, They made a Darango , and a 4 seater and a short cab but no crewcabs. Guess what  I am building
 I hunted around for a while and found a 2K dakota with a motor that would not start, It was a 4.7 slt,
dragged it and the wrecked RT up to a buddies shop, They are more of a mech. shop and handle primarily  domestic autos and big rigs,  After the truck is done with its heart and brain transplant it will come back to Airkooled for paint and body,. Some of the panels are already here being reworked on my very limited off time. If you want to follow the build pics they are here , if not, I have been updating on the twitter account.
 Oh the muggie part you ask,
 damn near swimming out there
