What would your next project be?

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.

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

the more i think about it, i think another project would be a car i could go racing with also. no interior, just a track car. would love to do the trans am challenger or aar cuda thing, but would probably end up racing an old dart, theyre cheap and lightwieght.

Funny you post pics of that Challenger, I was just at a show last night & saw this exact car, in it's original state. Turns out the guy owns like 20 original Trans-Am cars including the original Penske Sunoco 69 Camaro. I wish I wold have had my camera. I like the old vinatge stuff.

Noe back to the question...My next project is the car I planned on building along time ago. A 68 Camaro Convert, with a removable hardtop. EFI big block, 6 spd, etc...I know..I know... Just another Camaro..But atleast it's not a 69 Just Kidding 69 owners ...I love the 69's, just sometimes it's nice seeing something different. Remember this is coming from a guy building something really different..a 55 Chevy...

I think I would like to do a 70 Camaro and/or a 71 Monte C with a LS7.

Hmmmm.... Wow, that's a toughie! I always have at least a dozen or so projects swimming in my head. A few thoughts are:

Chevy Corvair; shorten the rear of the car a bit, make it front engined, maybe shorten the whole thing and make it a two-seater, Buick V-6 with a turbo.

Chevy Monza; The thing looks Ferrari-ish from the doors back, make the front look Ferrari-ish, Northstar, trick suspension, Ferrari-ish interior.

BMW 635; LS-X Power, upgrade the suspension and brakes.

Chevy Vega; Buick Turbo motor (stock), Upgrade the suspension and brakes, nice interior, would make a great daily-driver.

Fiat Spider; Maybe a Buick V-6 supercharged from an SSEi, or one of the "Shortstar" motors from an Aurora, or a Quad-4, cool country road cruiser.

79-80 Olds Cutlass; LS-X, 6-speed, suspension and brakes, would make a nice budget minded pro-tourer

Alfa GTV; Quad-4, 6-speed, upgrade the brakes. They just look cool.

70-76 Olds Custom Cruiser Wagon; Some sort of diesel, big brakes, GREAT tow vehicle.

Well, I'm sure there are at least a dozen more, but I think that should do it.

Shiny Side Up!

My wife wants a 69 corvette! My father used to race a 66 Dickey Harrell built chevelle and I would like to do something for him along those lines. It will be a clone of course. I would also like to do a 69 fastback mustang PT style!
