Default I'm a border collie!! *HELP!*

Border Collies by nature are work dogs. They need a job. Whether its hunting food or coralling sheep, they need to keep busy, otherwise they go nuts and tear things up. Such as shoes and couches.

I realized that i need a job, a purpose. I need to keep busy. Or i go stir crazy and for the past 4ish years, the camaro has kept me busy. But now that it's done, i need something else to do. I am in the process of creating some custom lamp shades for the wife, but that will be done soon and i need a new long term project.

So, here's my ideas for a new project. Suggestions welcome.

1968-69 Camaro Penske race car replica. Not a real one, similar paint and interior but lots of go fast(er) parts

1949 Chevy truck - daily driver type, parts hauler blasting Waylend Jennings

1965 Malibu... just for fun.

1965 Daytona coupe from Superformance (lofty goal, i dont have that much cash right now)

1979-81 Malibu 2 door G-machine...

that's all i could come up with now... any ideas? What animal are you?

I like the Trans-Am Camaro idea but the Penske car has been done before... how about a pro-touring version of the black & gold Smokey Yunick #13 car?

The smokey car i've always wanted to do.

I guess i'd have to research paint schemes and what not to create my own and make it look authentic.

btw, i dont have any serious $$ right now to buy any of these cars or projects, but i definately need a goal to work towards.

How about the Smokey Chevelle ? It had a ton of trick mods back in the day - that are standard issue now (well, maybe everything except that 7/8 scale thing...). Pro-tour that with all new current tube chassis/LS/C6 stuff ?

Hey, you stole the plan for my 68! Modern pro-touring suspension and running gear underneath, vintage trans-am styling on top. Should be really fun to drive, while retaining that great classic racecar look.

Of course, my idea isn't totally unique and there are plenty of vintage trans-am cars to model after, so build away!
