It's not pro-touring, back when I started it I was young and wanted to go fast in a straight line. However, I do plan on driving it all the time when it is "finished."

very nice!!!!!

Build thread is here:
https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=34997

I don't get a lot of feedback though so I'm either making a lot of mistakes or my car doesn't fit with the community. Either way I love seeing the builds here and get a lot of great ideas from what others are posting.
Love this place! :D

very impressive stuff there

Hey thank you!

Here is mine, not as far along as some, had planned to have the floor plans replaced by now but getting ready for a move across country so progress on the ride has stalled.

Thanks! there are some new updates from a few and some new to the thread.. Don't let this thread get lost,,

Has everyone lost interest in this thread ??Don't give up!! post your cars & updates ? They tend to get lost on here ??

I won't let this thread die because I most likely have the smallest garage of all! Here's my latest shot! Don't let the corvette throw you off, it's my wife's car and completly wasted on her! Trust me, I'm a poor SOB one step from living in a trailer!

This was built with my own two hands for the past 4 years. I have had the car since I was 15 and I am now 27

I have over 1000 miles on it and loving it!! LS with A/C :thumbsup:

ummmm, build thread????

Mine is being put together in a realllly small garage, I envy you guys with bigger garages, LOL. I do what I can in the space that I have. I haven't been able to pull it out of the garage in 6 years, but by next week I should have my brakes all buttoned up and I'll be able to pull it out of the garage to do work, rather than being crammed all up in there

I'll work on starting one here.

Don't know if it qualifies as full on pro-touring but here's mine after a little over 3 years and lots of allowance money.
I did everything in a 24X30 garage except rear end assembly and engine. When people doubt if I painted it in my garage I show them the bug buried in the clear...

I have build the 1500sqft garage even those steel frame doors. I have to honest, only engine and accessories (even air cleaner) in the Camaro and all the blower (intake manifold and intake tubes) and direct ignition systems to the Charger. Cars where pretty much done when they arrive to my garage.

T,

Tom ,Glad you posted it onthis site,,, Follow you on the Nova forum,,, You're the one !!!!

still pluggin away

Went for a Sunday Drive! well, sorta... Drove it out of the the garage under its own power for the first time in 9 years! Need to adjust the front end alignment (I guess suspension hanging on jackstand eyeball alignment isnt' that accurate) But the brakes worked! the Clutch worked! and the engine worked! Still don't have a gas pedal and linkage hooked up, so I had to move her under idle, but still better than pushing! Here's a video of it outside in the daylight!

There are some bad a$$ builds on this thread, Very nice

Missed this thread

I'm sorry I missed this thread in the past. Anyway here is my home built project. I purchased the car in 1973 and it was my daily driver until 1976 at which time I started drag racing it exclusively. I raced it for about 10 years or so but got bored with drags and the car sat in the garage for the past 25 years collecting dust. When I decided to build a PT car I litterally dusted it off to begin the project hence the name "Dust Off". The car was driven on the street in April 2012 for the first time since 1976. The car is now a full blown PT with DSE subframe, G-Link four bar rear suspension, Moser 9" floater, coil over shocks on all four courners, Corvette C6 Z06 brakes, Forgeline 18x10 275 front and 18x12 335 rear. The car is powered by the same SBC and BW T-10 that I raced with in the 70s.
