Opinions...what do you guys think?
Alright....this site is killing me by putting thoughts in my head or maybe just pushing me more towards what I want anyway.
Anyway, Just thought I'd gather some thoughts and opinions on cutting up one of my cars and doing the G machine theme with it. I've thought this often because I just can't stand looking at the tiny tires on it but since it's a fairly rare car I always reserved myself to leaving it alone. However, I could care less about originality....I'll restore one for someone that way but my own cars are never done as numbers matching original types and I hate sitting in a parking lot as I'd much rather drive them.
The car is a 1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II Dan Gurney Special....it's (going by memory) like the 3rd VIN sold to the public after the first batch where shipped to Kar Kraft.
Value is irrelevant to me as I never intend to sell it and it's my car. My idea would probably include a 4.6 4V Twin Turbo with a 6 speed. This would of course probably take me a couple years at least given that I spend most my time working on others cars but I think it would make a cool project and definitely unique. What do you guys think?
