Here is a project i picked up in Oct of 07









As you can tell she has a Boss 302 in her. Currently it's out of gas, dead battery, horn is ether broken or disconnected, The trans and back end are geared down so low that i can creep along at 20mph w/o touching the clutch and or gas in 2nd gear. The gas gauge thinks it has a 1/2 tank more of gas then it really does (why it's out of gas). Then to top all of that off before i can fix anything i need to get street tires on it. Drag tires are a no no on the roads of NY state i guess. I mostly fell in love with this car for the exhaust (This is the loudest car i have ever heard thanks to flowmaster and no cats on the pipes) and I loved the price of 2.5k

I'll post a picture of the engine I put in my truck when I was still in high school...not too sophisticated, but in 1979 a 15 second (in the quarter mile) pickup truck was quicker than any new car you could buy!

1929 Model A Speedster (current project)

A "cutaway" view so you can see the engine.

We use to have a Pro Mud Racer. We sold it a couple years ago but here is a picture of it.

It had a 496 Chevrolet. It was alcohol injected with nitrous.

Oh boy.. where do I start?

Currently at my house we have...
a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland. (not mine)

a 1950 Mercury Coupe (not mine)

a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback (Shelby Clone) (also not mine)

& at a remote location which I actually have to work on and try to move this weekend I have:

a 1979 Plymouth Trailduster with a 360, Fulltime 4WD, and a completely removable top. (that one's mine & can be found HERE & HERE)

I'll post some pics of the others later on.

dude i live for robotics and cars. I'm only 16 but i get my license on April 1,2008 i can not wait to finally drive my camaroZ28 , ive rebuilt that engine with my dad.
The First one is a 1986 Camaro Z28 w/ 305 four-barrel carburetor, it needs some TLC, such as new audio components, front suspension, and i want to throw some goods on it too such as a new carb and intake manifold(not sure what size), posi with disk brakes.

The second one,the red one, is my dad's 1984 Firebird Trans Am, same engine as the camaro except the car only has 49,000 original miles. Manual tranny and thats about it.

My aunt said if i want i can restore her her 1971 Dodge Challenger.It doesn't have a Hemi, but im easy to please. Ill post pics if i ever get them

I love F-bodies... thats all i can say,even though my dad's daily driver is 2003 Mustang with a V6
