Turns out it's still not "free" when you have a mortgage. I do have a 2-car garage, but we need to get rid of crap. It's a full on epidemic. This is the current stable:

Looks fun. I have no idea on valuations though. Do you really want something like that? Skylarks have considerably less mass apeal than Chevelles. A Cutlass is the same. That is the top dog one. I'd...
I'm leaning towards: 20x10s & 19x8s
What do you mean verdict? Matt's a great guy. Super busy body. He should take it to the next level. It will be fun to watch.
Many of the "cuttys" as they're refered look like something out of a...

Both got put behind properties. Several new ones this year. After closing costs, down payment, tile, and paint, the other projects got knocked back several months. I'm hoping to work on the bus over...
Thanks, but the title to the thread is wrong. I corrected it in my post, but it didn't correct the overall thread. Mine is actually a 1971, so it won't work unfortunately.
Suspension:

I'll look into the rear. I figured I needed to get all of the suspension stuff squared away (with tires) before I finished any paint. I may get it in primer, then do suspension/wheels, then come back...
I dreaded even opening the link. The name makes them sound stupider than they really are though. Doug is right, neat concept/technology.

This is interesting:

That sounds like a plan Fredo. That GTO auto seems like it would fit the bill. Scotti's rental drivetrain lives on! :)
I looked through several of those wheel sites. Most of them are too "euroey"...
Very cool indeed! I was thinking that car was a prime candidate for a swap or super charger. It's still almost 10x more than a Miata (that I'm looking at) and 2x more than a used Boxter. Damn new...
1. Depends on how much better 2006 is over 2005. :D But even if I had it, I probably wouldn't spend it on that. It doesn't have to be the fastest thing on the street.
2. Sorry I missed it. I did...
Wow, lots of conversation. I really like the shaved look. I don't really care if it's totally legal. It will likely have antique plates on it (at least that's the plan), so I won't have to deal with...

Foose pimped up a 1972 on Overhaulin, so I took some notes for myself:

- black paint on the back of the headlight bezels. Maybe just polish up instead?

This is going to be the thread that I use to track all of my research and progress. I'm not quite getting started, but once I get a few button and tuck items done on the Cruiser, off I go. It will be...
