where do we go?

[evilzee28]

Once again it's Friday & it's time to start to wind down & let the old brain cells drift for a while. Ok, so the cars finished & on the road, weathers fine & everythings cool in the garden, but Winter's just around the corner.What plans have you got to do to your car next, will it remain the same or is there another build in the pipeline???

Nigel,

Remember that most of the guys here are building their cars at the moment. Just a few of us can enjoy driving them But as you say, fall and winter is coming in just a few weeks.

Myself I am planning to throw out the bigblock and replace it with a LS1/T56 combo. I have a buyer for the old stuff and if everything goes as planned I'll receive the payment today.

Its not just a few guys that are "building" their cars. I would say everyone is...because in reality...they are never finished! I mean look at the Mule, the thing has changed a ton since it was "completed"...even the best cars are never done.

Winter is just the time to make the big changes because it off the road anyway.

Me: Ill be at school so not much will change, but it will be snug as a bug in the garage...

i totally agree BC69.........my car is down

I'm taking my running, driving, safe, reliable, fun car and yanking the body off the frame, and re-doing the whole chassis, dropping in an LT1, and redoing my interior. Of course I won't start until mid October, and it needs to be done by my wedding in May. ...and I need to do it on the tightest budget imaginable, doing it all myself, and I don't have a clue what I'm doing

Nigel, I'll just keep plugging along with my project. That's half the fun, right?

well, my cars "down AND out" at the moment, just waiting for it to come back from the blasters so's I can get on with it
The reason for the question was that most people tend to alter things over the winter & I was curious as to any changes you guys might be making. As to those of us that haven't even got a car on the road yet, (well spotted race-rodz, checking to see if you were awake there lol ) I was curious as to how things have changed from your original plans. Mine was originally gonna be a full on race replica of the Penske/Donohue '69 car, but now has changed into a PT/race car.(oh, the problems with a fertile imagination!!, I've built it dozens of times already & even driven it you know.......it's all in the mind )

How about some more pics of your cars in the build up stages posted on the site?????
