    Default Let's see your "Project" vehicle

    My pipe dream has always been to resto-mod an old muscle car/truck/toy. I know I'm not the only one out there, and would like to see your current or long term project you've been working on.

    So post so pictures of what you have, and some general info on the build!


    I'd start off, but I don't have anything. I wouldn't mind a late 40's early 50's Cab-over Engine truck. A mid 50's truck, a 70's ish high-boy type, and a boat load of various muscle cars.

    And Go.....

    Default Ol' Roid

    This has been mine since high school, learned how to drive in this car in Jr.high, now I'm 58, 2nd owner.
    This started as a plain-jane coupe, 6 banger auto. Never had any real damage but did suffer from South Dakota salt & rust.
    Lots of changes over the years, and I'm still tinkering with the damn thing, LED lights were the latest addition. Maybe SOMEDAY if I ever get back to a positive cash flow I can "finish" it before I die.
    Mustang II IFS, Blue Oval roller 302, (should have gone 351) Holley/Weiand, Modified engine compartmant, 4 speed toploader, (regret not going T-5) 9" rear, disk brakes all around. Stock sort-of interior.

    They say a project is never finished even when it's "finished". Here's the stress, umm, I mean project I've had the past two years...
