I'm looking forward to the '69 Olds build!!

I am pretty stoked on this one honestly! I spoke at length with Mark from SC&C and we have a absolutely filthy suspension set-up ready to go.

For a while I will be rockin' her in all her ugliness but it is going to ride like it is on rails.

I will be starting a build thread tomorrow. Stay tuned! Been doing motor work for a while now.

Very cool Dave. Will be on the lookout.

Garage modified cars count?

Only thing I wont touch is the tune.

Jack of all trades Master of None! I do my own start to finish. The most time consuming is the paint/body and takes me a long time. This car took me 4yrs.



At a show of 250+ cars I won Best Muscle Car thru 1973. That was a great honor doing the entire car in home garage.






Starting year 3 on current project. Again doing it all in my home garage and with that my first Automatic trans rebuild. hope it holds up to all the the HP.





Engine is built to be a torque monster. (really enjoyed that part of build)

Fairly new member here, been doing a bunch of reading and learning from you guys ... quietly.

I'm building an 86 Cutlass and only seen 2 other g-bodies in this whole thread. Thought I'd add mine.

It started out as *homebuilt*.



I did manage to get some work started on it. Pulled the front end and then the motor and tranny ...



After sitting in the back yard for 3 years (collecting parts and saving money) and finally getting started on it, the good city I live in said that was a no-no and offered to tow it away for me ...

So, I had it moved to a buddies house. At this point it was no longer *home-built*, at least not my home...

I got a bit more work accomplished on it here:



About a month ago he had to move and I had to find a new parking space...again. A trusted friend I work with offered to trailer it to his house until I can find another place to store it. I found a place and now just need to get it there.

Maybe someday I'll be able to catch up to it long enough to get my 383 and T56 in it and running. When it can move under it's own power again, it'll be parked back under MY shadetree.

I only WISH I had a garage ...

A few random pics of my build so far ...



I know it's a crappy pic but here's the previous version I built. It died a dignified death of cancer and all the good parts are being transfered to my 86. It was built in a garage, my hephews. He filled it up and I no longer have access to it.
