Hey gang my names Patrick and I have been a member here for awhile just never introduced myself. I complete forgot until today when I got an email about the NTR event. I'm 18 and currently attending UC.
Anyways I'm a die hard Dakota guy. Currently have two, 98 Dakota R/T and a 96 Dakota big block project underway.
The R/T fully forged 408, eddy heads, spintech long tubes etc. I don't want to bore you guys so I'll just get to pics. If you are actually interested in the truck and want to know more just ask.
Here is an idle clip of the small block:

The rims that are in the pics are 20" R/T wheels, I no longer have those and upgraded to 19x10 CCW 505A's. In that last pic I'm currently upgrading the front brakes to 14" rotors and 4 piston brembos AKA Gen III viper brakes. I started this project over spring break and only got the driver side 90% done, still have to tap the bracket I made. And No, I'm not putting them on just because they say "Viper" haha I could care less what they say as long as they stop me quickly.

The 96 is the new project, just recently picked up a 440 block that is already .040 over. As it looks right now the combo is going to be 496"/727/8 3/4". We shall see though, hoping for a mid 10 second pass on motor when it's done and be fully streetable. Nothing really special about it right now though, after I finish the brakes on the R/T this thing is getting all my money and time. I only have two decent pics of it, oh well.
