i'd like to finish my '29 Chevy coupe!   :chuckle: :tup:  she's been in pieces since 1993 and i've been collecting parts since.  one day...

a '49 chev fastback would be fun!  but so would the Spyker C8 Aileron!  :tup: :tup: :tup:

Astons, Ferraris, Lambos, Merc SLS, Paganis, Koenigseggs, Nobles.... Top Gear UK has REALLY opened my eyes!   :yike: :tup: :tup: :chuckle: :chuckle:

i still love my '72 4wd longbox Chev... but she had to go in favor of the Tundra.  having that back would be nice, but i have a thing for flat fender Willy's jeeps, too!   :tup:  OH!  and the Defender 90!   :tup:

OH OH!!  and my love for the Pontiac Solstice in black is kind of obscene!   :chuckle:

I completely restored a 1925 Chevy Roadster. Does yours have a lot of woodwork in it? Mine sure did.

OH YEAH!  LOTS of wood!   :tup:  it's all in good shape except on piece in the back cab roof over the passenger.  when i got it, we had it running with the old 216 I-6.   :tup:

awesome! What size pistons are you using and what compression with the turbos being used?
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

I had to rebuild every piece of wood in mine including the wooden steering wheel. After some people saw the steering wheel, I wound up selling those wooden things in the Hemmings magazine all over the country and even shipped one to Australia..

I had to get rid of my black on black mx-5 miata a couple years ago cause of kids. I loved that car.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

I have owned a 1969 olds 442, 1969 chevelle ss396, and a 1957 willies wagon. I think the olds with the 455 was the best, that thing could flat destroy a set of tires.

I would like a 1970.5 comaro z28.

I'm sure just before I retire I will treat myself to a new corvette.
