I just sold a long term C-10 project (money pit) I've been working on for about 7yrs. I've got way to much on my plate (70hr+ a week job, 3 kids, a house with a huge to-do list & a 55 Bel Air, 67 SWB CST that both need work and I just bought my oldest a 64 VW vert that needs to be finished. And I thought it would be a good idea to buy my final "dream" car and jump head first fixing it up. I'm thinking of calling it project "Head Start", cuz I bought a car that is almost 100% done and plan on just adding to extras to get it the way I want! I'm local to Driverz Inc so I contacted Jon and got the ball rolling.

I ordered a Speedtech setup (f/r):

Chicane kit
Road Assault Pkg (w/Ridetech coilovers)
Torque Arm kit (w/Ridetech coilovers)

Future plans:

Wilwood 14/13" brake setup
Rushforth/New Gen 19/20 wheel & tire setup

The car is a 69 SS/RS w/4-speed trans, ford 9" & 383 engine. I just purchased it from a guy in Norcal. I'm not a hardcore performance guy, but I do drive a 06 M3 w/comp pkg so I do like a solid driver. Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and my latest addiction.

The last 2 pics are the wheels I stole from my 55. These are pics of my other projects:

The 55 has a 68 vette rear suspension that I need to figure out what to do with. It has CPP front arms w/Ridetech shockwaves, a 68 vette 427 w/700R4 trans, 4 wheel disc brakes etc.... The main issue is the what I'm going to do in the back as I want to bag it all around and put a 20/22 wheel combo on it.

The 67 SWB CST I want to update the suspension, brakes & steering and find a 327 to put back into it. I will also need to get some new wheels as the ones in the pics were sold with my project truck,

The 64 VW is my daughters and it needs a top, disc brake conversion & misc stuff done.
