What other projects do you have in mind?

I would love to do a wagon, but my next one will probably be an Elco for my oldest son who will be drivin in a couple of years. The Elco will probably be a generic 350 sbc cruiser, something for a daily. I would love to do a Olds wagon with a 455 tho.
 
I'm planning a truck or jeep build... Either I want a step side or short bed 73-87 Chevy or 79-86 Ford with either a cummins swapped in (best option in my opinion), or a BBF stroker or BBC stroker. Don't really care about the engine or brand so much, as long as it's got tons of torque and I want to swap in minimum of 1 ton axles in it. I'd really like a long wheel base Jeep a CJ6 would be perfect but they're so hard to find they only ever sold a couple thousand in the USA mostly to the US parks service the majority went to South America and Africa. Or I'd like a CJ8 Scrambler but they're expensive even in crap condition... So jeeps are probably out so it'll probably have to be a Ford or Chevy. I just want a very off road capable do all vehicle with lots of torque.

Vet, theres a offwhite 84 Riv in decent shape w/ only minor rust near my house for $1200 and nobody buying it run/drive but overheats after a while supposedly. In northwest indiana^

Thanks for looking out. Unfortunately space and funds won't permit right now.

3. 88-90 Z24 Cavalier

I've always liked the '87 Z24 hatch backs. I'd like to do a SC 3800 in one.
I like the Beretta GTZ, GTU and Z26's too. The GTZ with the HO Quad 4/Getrag 5 speed was actually a pretty quick car for it's time. Too bad most of them got beat to hell or rusted apart underneath.

i been working on my 73 hurst olds off and on for over 15 years now.eather time or money have slowed the project down to a snails pace but i got the frame done and the body is back on.the engine and tranney is fresh.it's in paint and body now and should be done by summer.i drove it this summer for the first time in 17 years with no front clip or glass.just a seat and it was great.lol .the many years of pain and suffering are coming to a head and the pay off is near.lol
 
my grandpa has 2 70's cadilac elderados that are completely stock which have fuel injection. oh btw I'd love to have an amc javelin to work on someday
 
My next project will be a 1965 Mustang Convertible (for the wifey) powered by my dads old 289HO race motor :twisted:

My next GBody project will be a Duramax powered Regal with Allison1000 transmission and either a FORD 9" or 14bolt GM rear. I will be getting a complete donor truck and swapping everything straight over to a Regal. I am sure the firewall/transmission tunnel will need some massaging or fabricating. This will be a daily driver car :twisted:

:rofl: :lol: What?!?!? What is this "an amc?" lol, don't you mean a few, hahaha, I have yet to meet an amc owner that only has one, (myself included 😳 ). It's kinda like a disease, once you get your first one, you'll be looking for another one to keep it company, then another one will find you, and beg you to bring it home, so you do :lol: (at least that's what we tell the women). hahahaha
