I saw 2 pictures of the car and they were okay pictures but I needed some more to see what I was getting into. Well after countless e-mails, texts, and voicemails I got nothing. I sent her an e-mail asking her WTF? Needless to say I got a nasty e-mail back from her telling me that we shouldn't be talking anymore and all this other b.s. I should have known this was coming, fair weathter friend that she is just made up some b.s. excuse and now isn't going to let me have the car. Now here is my situation, I NEED SOMETHING TO BUILD!!!. I want to PT something that is affordable and that parts are available. I was thinking about the following cars: 78-80 Cutlass, 83-88 Monte SS, 78-85 Malibu & Malibu Wagon. I want to definately do a 5 or 6spd trans w/ SBC power. I would love to see some pics of any of the following cars that were mentioned. I also need to find out who does the clutch stuff for G-bodies. You guys were awesome when I asked for pics of Camaro's and very helpful too. I hope you guys can shed some light on my soon to be new adventure. Thank you in advance.

Why not try a 1st gen Buick Riviera? 63-65. They are not very expensive and have really cool lines. especially the 65. Parts are fairly easy to find. I think OPG is going to be issuing just a catalog for them. If your really brave, take on a "Nailhead", they have all kinds of Torque.
