Please don't rip me a new one, but....

So let me get this straight, you had enough money to build a 408 stroker, but no money to put it into a car. Seem like it should have been the other way around.
I did put the cart before the horse but I didn't think it would be that hard to find a 2wd Dakota, D150 or even a Ram 1500 but that definitely wasn't the case. I never thought there would be old Mopar muscle cars in fairly decent shape for a reasonable price. Everything I found was in the 4-5k range for crusty rollers.

When I told these supposed Mopar lovers that they were way overpriced they told me good luck kid, you have a rude awakening coming in the world of Mopar, really bummed me out.
