Hot rods, street rods, muscle cars and old trucks

Here is my 2 money pits

The first one is my 1978 El Camino SS, SBC/th350 soon to be 454bb/th400

The second one is my 1966 Dodge Coronet 440, 440 big block. I got all the mechanical stuff done now its just all bodywork. Hopefully I can get all the bodywork and paint done before spring and I can be cruising.


Now my ole lady wants to get a 60's-70's Bug. Hopefully I can find one that is not all rotted out.

My BIL has one he bought right before he went to Vietnam with the Marines. I want to say it's an RT though.

My '36 Chevy lowcab project. I bought it off of a relative whose husband passed, it had been in his garage for 30+ years. I've rounded up a 235 , t5, and a 8.8. I wish I had time,skill, or money to get this thing mobile quicker .

A few of the rides my Uncle had over the years. The man was a Car guy through and through. He didn't go anywhere unless there was a car event, purchase or swap involved. I remember the day he brought the Crosley (middle one) home he cobbled up some skis and slapped them under the front end. Drove her around for a few days and had a blast. Few years later she was winning shows.

Paid a deposit and I'm going to pick this up on Saturday. 62 Chevrolet C20 with service bed. According to the signage that's been painted over on the door it was used by the Lexington Water Dept. 235 inline 6 with a 4 speed. Plenty of rough spots to keep me busy, but should be a fun project. Wanna get it drivable first, then lower it a little....or a lot.

I like that....big fan of mordoor Novas. I had a rusty 63 that I swapped a 250 into but sold it before I could ever drive it.I know I've looked at yours on craigslist before.
 
Yeah every now and then the thing will make me mad and I'll have an impulse "I'm gonna sell the dang thing" moment but im the end, I cool off and get back to work on it. I've finally got motor in, had Chris at mars fab cut down my 8.8 for me. Just continuing to plug away at it

Been fixing some minor rust in the cowl before it becomes major rust in the cowl on my 67 Fairlane GT.
