At which point you will need to get the one accessory that every truck owner must have:
A bumper sticker Tha says "YES, I HAVE A TRUCK. NO, I WILL NOT HELP YOU MOVE."
If the fact that I bought the car and started working on it for the $2014 challenge and didn't finish it counts, then yes, I started.
making attempts to acquire a never before challenged engine.

Maserati biturbo?
Well, I bought this last night & am heading to pick it up now. Not sure I'll actually build it/bring it to the Challenge, but it's definitely under budget.

Heh.
Actually i was efforting a triton v10. Its there if I want it, but the lack of info on their wiring and what to do to make it operate outside a ford truck is staggering.
I'll be bringing the caprice that I tried to bring this year ....so yes lol

I'm still not seeing the problem. 
I just hope it's a crew-cab dually and you replace the rear duals with some 20"-wide slicks.
Yes, yes, we have started a challenge build. This one is not a truck, the truck build is going to stay a bit more of a surprise...
The highest highs and the lowest lows came right after Climax
I do need to come up with a value?
Had to first, find 4, 5x4" (not 5x4.5" as I was thinking). wheels with good, tires and reverse thread lug nuts for the drivers side stud. Its very crunchy, and I laughed too, but I have a plan. 
'Post to be a big snake and a ghost living in it. 
Once I get the nerve to pull the seats, and get the damn trunk open this build is on.
In reply to Gasoline:
Those pics made me wonder if my tetanus shot is up to date.
really rusty early dart. $200 tops. hell, its not even a good parts car.
but post a build thread!!!
sorry, but all remaining 66 dart's need to be clones of Dick Landy's A/Fx car or early road racer. Iv'e noticed a couple folks here can help make it turn,right and left, not Gay
Hmmm.....
D dart clone....
There's a Guy on mopax that races one of the original d-darts that's an ex trans am car.....
I wonder if anyone still has one of the short track duster body kits Petty Sold for Chrysler,Ya'll Know Dale SR. did the R&d Driving for those cars.

Makes a 'body drop' easy if the floors are already gone 
Late to the flea market.
I've started my $2020 build. With young kids, it's going to be a while.
My Challenge budget is just under $400 so I figure it will take 4 years to spend the other 1600.
It's my $200 DSM but I'm keeping it a secret from the board!!!!

Hey duster. Did I see somewhere you were interested in a TPI fuel injection setup 4 a GM?
If so shoot me a pm.... I may be switching over to carburetors
Haven't done the challenge in a few years, and don't post much here anymore...Can someone kindly point me in the direction of the $2017 rules? I searched and didn't get them to come-up. I feel like challenge info used to be a conspicuously-posted sticky every year...
In reply to Finnerty:
Ovid: I was at one point, but moved in the Ford direction instead. Thanks though.
I've got the 2014 challenge car that I'm supposed to be coaching the local boyscout troop through. I don't think it's been touched in about six months other than me putting the body up on a trailer so that I could mow the weeds under it that were making my wife feel bad about our backyard.
