I know a lot of you guys have other project cars other than the Xs, ive seen a Supra, a Camaro, a few Stangs, etc. Lets see some pics! Here is my current project, just picked it up Sunday, its a '65 Chevy Corvair with a mid mounted 350 Chevy...I am gonna do a pretty much ground up on it, including race suspension, 400HP smallblock, roll cage, etc. Hopefully it will run 11s or faster, it should, as it will wont weigh too much...here are a few pics :)

Hopefully By next March it'll be done.. Before i stripped it i ran 12.8 @118. I'll be running hopefully 10's, early 11's daily driven on street tires. I'm adding a T78 turbo, 150 shot nos, Tein Suspension and a mixture of Trial bodykits and JUN. When i'm done i'll be pushing close to 650 hp without NOS.. With Nos i'll hopefully be in the 800's club! haha Barely Street Legal
 






800 HP barely legal?

Ive seen Supras with over 1000 HP that was still street legal!
 






1986 F-250 4x4 351W... came with 8.5' Western plow

I only plan on keeping this for 2 years or so, it has a D50 front and full floater 10.25 rear with stock 4.10 gears. Plans for it so far are...
1. 33x12.5R16.5 TRXUS M/Ts
2. add-a-leafs front and rear
3. Rancho RS5000s on all corners
4. Replace bench seat with buckets out of full size Bronco
5. Warn man hubs
6. Limited slip for the rear
7. electric radiator fan
8. 100 amp alternator

I'm still researching the 351W and the different options to give it a little more umpf... I'm going to use it as a tow rig in the summer and a plow truck in the winter.

This is not my truck. It belongs to Darryl, a friend of Bigtig and myself. WE were tearing it up all day.

After

The tailgate is off now also.
 






Here is my project car. I just bought it a few days ago for $150. Its a 1991 grand marquis. In August i will be driving in a figure 8 race and if the car still runs after that at the end of the night there is going to be a 100 car demolition derby. I am in the process of stripping it down.

This is my other vehicle project. I had almost forgotten about it.:eek: After taking this pic today, I threw the seat on it and took it for a little ride through the neighborhood. It has been about 8 months since I have even started it. It will be nice one day..................
