Wow some very very impressive home built cars. Amazing.

Those cinder blocks make great jack stands

(I'm guilty of cinder blocks, bricks, and even a good landscape rock as a wheel chock in a pinch)

But really, that's a pretty wild tube chassis stang!

1969 Chevelle (this one done almost to org match #). Had to use a buddy's garage. Did everything except assemble the engine (Chassis, body, paint, interior, glass)

After the above 69 I took my matching number chevelle (restored in 1990) and decided to go through it. I now have my own garage. Doing everything except the engine which was built by a engine builder. Some more pictures under Member's section: https://lateral-g.net/members/harrod/

Its kool to see people actually building their own stuff rather than writing checks. Im also building my trans am at home in my 2 car garage bothering my neighbors with the noise, i doing everything from mechanical to body and from electrical to metal fab. id build my own roll cage but it has to be approved to run it at the track so ill have someone build it

tried "writing cheques" and ended up with overpriced shoddy work.
