Love them but cant afford to play in this hobby yet.   Tagging along though and hoping for more photos of more projects and masterpieces out there.

My uncle had this 32' Ford coupe with open headers red kind of like Harrison Ford's in American Graffiti.

I think Harrison Ford's character drove the hopped up 55 Chevy and the other guy, John Milner or something like that, drove the yellow Ford Coupe. In fact, didn't Harrison Ford's character have a line in the movie where he called the color of the Ford Coupe, baby sh*t yellow or something? lol

I bought a 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500 XL 2dr fastback many years ago, with the intentions of making it a restoration project but I never seemed to get around to doing anything with it and it sat in my folks shop for about 10yrs until a friend of a friend made me an offer I couldn't refuse.  At least at the time I thought I couldn't refuse it but looking back now, even though I more than doubled my money, I sold it to cheap or maybe should have just hung on to it.

I don't know my Chevy's as well as I do my Ford's but was the 67 Camaro the one and only year for wing windows??  Bone stock all original cars are really cool but I love the retro-mod stuff the best.  Build em up bigger and badder than when they rolled off the showroom floor but keep the original look, mostly, the same. :tup:

haha, yep, only seen one other AAR in my life, pretty rare machine, he does have pictures of it still.  He also burned up a '67 SS396 chevelle on the freeway, doh!  My old boss at a body shop, when they were younger, they would buy 55-57 chevy's and have derby's with them...  :dunno:

I also know a guy, that had a real Shelby AC Cobra!

Me and my old man have restored a few over the years. 

Started with a 32 Model A coupe.  Went all Original in the resto, fun to put around in.

Then a 23 T bucket military truck.  PITA to drive but turned some heads.

Then a 69 Mustang convertible.  351 W I think.  All original resto except a color change to red.

Now a 75  vette  nothing special, just got a good deal on it

Ill see if I can find some pics tonight.

I need the top 'sail' portion of the rear quarter panels, that meet up to the roof and come down to the base of the windows.  Nobody makes that part, you have to buy a complete quarter at $300 each to get one, I need both :/

I appreciate it, and any interior parts they may have!
