Almost exactly a year ago I purchased my '03 Graphite Metallic CC from Racerwill on 7/13/16.

Actually saw it on Craigslist, but was searching around the forums and saw the posting and history on here as well.
Will wanted it to go to an enthusiast who would take care of her and fix her up. I hope I've lived up to his expectations.

Over the past year, here is the list of repairs/mods:
Multiple EVAP hoses to fix the CEL to pass inspection
Front Inner Fender liners 7/25 (beat up from being lowered)
Flowmaster Exhaust Duals 7/29 (one side broken off, would not pass inspection)
Tranny, Pwr strn, brake fluid 7/31
Adjusted the transmission shift cable, no more problem going into park!
75W/90 rear end fluid 8/11 (rear end still whining)
White gauges 9/5 (put a white overlay over the blue flame gauges)
Rebuilt the Rear End 9/30 $1200 (stuck with the OEM 3.92 gears)
"Leather" 2 tone black/grey Seat covers 10/16
New Nitto 450 Tires 10/21
New Fog lights, EOM style 10/22
HIDs in the fog lights and head lights 10/22
Key/fob 11/11 (can only get one fob and one key programmed, issue with aftermarket alarm)
Steering pump & tensioner pulley 12/09 (one leak fixed!)
Ceramic Window Tint 12/16
Front end Alignment 1/17
Truxport cover 1/20 (just replaced the dry rotted cover, same frame)
New Headliner 1/27 (no more pin up!)
LED domes lights 1/30
R/T embroidered Floormats 1/30
Crossdrilled/slotted Powerstop rotors and Hawk Ceramic pads 107K, 2/26
Powder Coated the M1 2bbl in "Polished Aluminum" 3/30

Installed all the following over the last week:
M1 2bbl
52mm TB from HiPoTek
FRP Tune (93octaneM1V10) Street tune (was grandfathered in the custom email tuning deadline)
Mopar Valve Covers and Gaskets
180F Thermostat
Thermostat neck
Mopar Valve Covers
Upper/Lower Rad hoses and heater hose
Painted fuel rails, batter bracket, other stuff (gloss black)
New Harmonic Balancer (About to come apart, heard it tapping on the timing chain cover, glad I caught it!)

Will post up some pics soon. Have to find a new home for forum posting pics now that Photobucket has lost their minds ($400 a year?) and clogged the site with pop-up ads.

Next up:
Full exterior paint job.
Full sound system (has a bluetooth speaker and my iphone right now, ha!)
Heads/cams/bottom end rebuild.
Rear end still whines a little, believe it to be the clutches

Love the truck, the past year has been great, looking for many more. Wish I had done the FRP tune sooner! Whole different vehicle now.
