You bet! He just bought a 05 Crown Vic State patrol car, and I'm going to use the complete suspension and power train on the 67. He wants it "slammed"...... Still debating on using a 500ci caddy engine I just happen to have in my storage for a "special" project.

My first post on FTE back in Jan05 was on my 68 with the 472 Caddy front wheel drive. Almost didn't come back. I caught a ton of flack over that post.........lol

Most of the people that raise a fuss over our projects don't have a pot to pizz in.
It's easy to sit there with your brand new stock truck with payments, and tell us how wrong we are for resurrecting something that was discarded for trash, and making it safe, and giving it new life.
I have seen some things I would never do to any of my projects, but that don't mean it was wrong for that person to do that to his project.
Then we have the ones that just sit and write checks, have their project handed to them, and act like they did all the work.
I like stock, modded, rodded, and restro rodded
They are all eye candy to me.
All of my viehicles stay in an "unfinished" state, as I just plain out like to work on them!

I've seen things on here that really bug me, but never say a thing about them. What someone else likes means nothing to me. I build my rigs FOR ME!

Mornin Back Don!!!!
I have built for others, usually I have a talk with them, and sway them away from stupidity, but that don't always work. If they are paying me to do what they want, it's done that way.

My problem? I get most of my project done and somebody comes along and offers me more than I've got in it, and it's SOLD!
One thing nice is since I've "retired" I can pick only the projects I WANT to do!
