dont know what im gonna do with myself not worring about spun bearings and wirring issues!

TURDS!?! Ya mean all this time I've been polishing a TURD?!?:eek2:

Dude! You got a Hemi! That much I can tell, but I'm not familiar with that manifold. Tell us more!
It looks like a project but it should be awesome when it's done. Good luck!!

I used to love old cars but I would want to keep old car looks and engineer into it new car suspension and brake tech. It would end up costing more then a decent new car with a v8 like a charger or challenger so it makes no sense to me to start with an ancient car to start with. Just does not make sense to me unless there's a nostalgic angle to the project.

well, with the skills and hook ups i have, i could built 2 of these comparted to a 800 whp 3s, so its a know brainer for me.

i just sold a NIB 6sp for 2300, and bought a TKO 600 Five speed for this car for the same money, and it will prolly last a hell of alot longer...lol and i can buy parts any old time.

this car will cost about 25k to build with me doing 80% of the work.

after i get it all painted and running, ill prolly throw AC on it and ill be set!

I dont want to talk about old cars.... I had a 1967 Camaro SS since I was 16 (1978) until around 2000. 2nd wife convinced me to sell it since it was a project (80% done) for many years off and one. It was about 6 months before the prices sky rocketed and it's value went up 10x. Fvck, Fvck Fvck...

Even though it was only 80% done I had 100% of all the new chrome, trim, felt, rubber and most everything you can think of. I could not touch the same car in the same condition for under 15K now...

3rd wife must be pissed....

Great project. What's best is you will be the designer, engineer, and wrench of the project. A lot more satisfying when you finish and have it out on the road with it attracting the admiring crowds
