What would your next project be?

[mdprovee]

I would like to do a Impala, something big with room for the whole family. Fast and manuverable of course. Also would like to make a 4 door, or extended cab early truck, like a 50 something.

[Mecom Racer]

A '66 Toronado converted to RWD or maybe a '68 Hurst/Olds or 442.

[Hdesign]

I drive my wife nuts with all the projects I want to accomplish....mind you, the 70 Nova is years away from completion.

We'll here's my list:
1. 71 Monte convertible
2. 34 Ford coupe or pickup retro rod
3. 80's Elcy SS
4. 87 Buick GN
5. 67 Eldorado RWD conversion
6. 67 Wildcat convertible
7. 68 Lemans Custom S
8. 69 Torino
9. 68 Cougar XR-7
10. 71 TA
11. 50 Chevy Pickup
12. 57 Buick
13. 69 Boss Mustang

If I can get half of those done before my time's up...I'll die a happy man!

[69MyWay]

An early to mid '40s Ford two door convertible powered by a super efficient turbo diesel with o/d trans and light weight components designed to run on on bio-fuel, cold a/c, and plenty of creature comforts including saftey equipment like airbags and anti-lock.

A 66 chevelle with my father and a 56 Bel- Air convert for my wife..... all pro-tour of course.

Ahhhh, projects. I am currently actively working on two of my own projects smattered with some really cool customer cars. These are a 70 Camaro, and a 68 Ply. Satellite. Behind these, I have a complete basket case 65 FB Mustang, and my wife's 62 vette, both of which will get the total makeover. Last weekend, it took every ounce of restraint not to buy a local 69 Chevelle, but I am certain that I won't be able to resist buying one like that "next time," unless a 61 Impala comes along (I have complete stroker rat motor that needs a home, either one of these cars would be a great place to put it).

Beyond all of that, the current project that I think about constantly is a full on track car, based on a 67 Chev II. It'd (well, "will" actually) be a full tube frame deal, with a moderate motor setback at the same time dropping it on the ground via dry-sump. Fiberglass/composite body with full aero, and race slicks. Power would be a Duttweiler type V6 twin turbo motor, light as anything, and huge power (750-ish HP), and the car weight would be around 2300 lbs, wet, less if possible. Sequential trans, three link (of course) rear. Maybe it wouldn't have the refinement of a current Daytona Prototype car ($500k with motor...), but with the extra 200 HP, it would be able to hang with them without too much trouble on the track. Now that's what I call "in your face" cool. I'd put a bumper sticker on the back that says "Bite Me." And I'd probably buy stock in Hoosier too.

Your next project sounds a lot like my current one minus the full chassis, full slicks, engine, dry sump, aero package, comp body, weight, & seq trans.

The bumper sticker should say "If you can read this it's because I broke something"

I'd do a full on roadracing 73 trans-am
a pt'ed 32 sedan delivery
Roadracing Superbird

I used to think my ultimate would be a 1968 Camaro. . . But after a little ride in Bill Howell's GTO. . . I am starting to lean in that direction.
