what are your project vehicles new old or otherwise and what's planned for them

 

 

 

one I'm helping with is a 1 of 1 AMC Javelin I'm working on with my uncle to get it back into good condition but it's gonna take a while and we need a 69 hood not a 68 oh and some new 1/4's, drivers side pillar, and new floors this isn't including the one missing part on the car that's the boomerang shaped support behind the front bumper

 

the other is my truck but that's not fully starting yet

I am rebuilding fir a friend a 1985 gmc step side. We just got the frame powder coated silver vain and under coated the cab. This weekend we will set the cab back on the frame and get the body work done. I have a 1939 ford sitting in my enclosed trailer wanting a new paint job but I am to busy. I also have a vn750 and a vn1500 mean streak i am rebuilding ( cant make up my mind on the paint job). I have three racing go kart i am build for myself and a friend to race. Lastely i have a 1995 miata in my garage im for a color change and interior. Can you tell i am a very busy guy lol. Oh and i forgot my pickup.

92 chevy extended cab 383, dart heads, msd, headers,whipple s/c 5 or 10lbs custom seat, wheels kenwood,etc bad to the bone. Has been a project since new. Im owner number 3. Trucks looks new, first time I did it this way. Bought on ebay for the price of the whipple new. Was my DD for a year. Now that I bought a new one may sell it buy a car to play with.

My Nova is more or less done at this point but every once in a while I get the itch to go a bit faster and I end up building a motor with more power. Currently it has a 440 cubic inch small block Chevy with 18° cylinder heads that makes a bit more than 800 at the crank. Best E.T in the quarter mile is 9.28 @ 145 mph on stock suspension with 10.5" wide tires. It is still plated and insured although I rarely street drive it much anymore. 114 octane at 12 bucks a gallon gets kinda expensive LOL Although I have still occasionally hit a local car show with it.

 

Here are a few pictures of its evolution

 

Right after I bought it around 1997 daily driver with a mild 350

Right after the cage was installed getting ready to blast the subframe

Waiting in the staging lanes as it is today. It has wider wheels in the back and different springs so it sits a bit different compared to the previous picture

Here is a link to a video on a really hot day when it was about 2 tenths and about 3 mph off where it usually runs

unfortunately yes it's a very different hood 68 and 69 were the only ones that body style and they had different hoods

 

I also have plans set up for a 50's pickup my dad and I want to do whenever we get the money

    • Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.        
    • I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.
    • I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉 
    • 4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.    
    • 2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
