Off topic: Let's see your other projects

I thought it'd be a cool idea for everyone to share pictures of their project or completed classic cars; non-Ford trucks

I'll start- here's my dad's 1967 Mustang that he's had since high school and restored.



Sorry I don't have a better picture, but it is the one on the right (obviously). Anyway it's got a 289 and a 3 speed that is a blast to drive.

And here is my grandpas 1950 Packard. I'm not sure what is going to happen with this car, since my grandpa is too old to work on it but he is against selling it. He bought this car with the truck that I bought from him, so we'll see.





I'd like to see all of your other completed/project cars!
Edit: I guess share any project, doesn't have to be cars

Not car related, but this is one of my other interests. I've been working on this as long as my truck.

Love it! Do you have any completed projects? I'd love to see it when it's finished.

That looks like a ton of fun. I love these Cobras, but I know if I ever owned one I'd go bankrupt just from buying new tires, cause of all the burnouts I'd be doing

A "completed" project is no longer a project. Here is a completed project that is now a useful tool to haul around my yet-to-be completed real projects...

This one sat out in the back woods for 20 years, Great practice on much thinner sheetmetal!! Kinda glad I didn't scrap it.

When I turned 16 and got my license my car was a 62 Corvair four speed with bucket seats. Alot of fun!

And the second generation Corvairs like yours are not bad looking. They have similar lines to the later Camaro.

Trivia; after the demise of the Corvair the GM engine casting facility was retooled to produce the engine for the Vega...unfortunately they forgot to incorporate steel liners in the cylinder walls.
