    Seeing that most of us do our own wrenching and the such, its hard for us to only have one (or more!) to work on. So what are some of your other projects? Post up a picture or two and a little about it.

    Mine is a 1981 Mercury Zephyr 2.3 plain sedan. Its in a current state of slight disassembly but I'm hoping to get going on the body work again once I get the time and then I'll be getting some paint on it. After I get it the body decent I'll probably just end up sending it off to Maaco for a cheap coat. After that I'll finish up the interior and it will be a nice mostly stock cruiser.

    Cool little 'ol car, 77V. I remember your pic of the Vista at school...if you don't mind my asking...is that a High School, College? And....are you a teacher or a student?

    Looks to be in pretty good shape. What color are you going to paint it?

    Currently a broke college student.

    I've been tossing around a few ideas, but will most likely end up with a coat of the original "silver gray metallic".

    Come on guys! Lets see your other project cars!!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Looks straight and solid. All you need is paint.
    My project is a 68 Charger RT. Its currently in the body shop. When its done it will be red with a black vinyl top, white interior and white bumble bee stripe.

    My dad's '79 Nova. Not sure if we are going to put a 383 stroker we have in it or my dad is trying to work a deal with a friend for a 454 so that is still undecided.I tied the frame a while back and it has a mini spooled 3.73 gear.We had it on the road 7 years ago powered by a 455 Buick, it was a fun little car but after motor locked up and other things it sat neglected for a few years but we are back to working on it finally with the help of Oreo, the cat in the trunk that adopted us. Also our '55 getting new oil and rear diff oil. It is pretty much as finished as it is gonna get for a while or at least until I get my wagon going.The last picture (sorry it was a picture of a picture) even though kinda blurry is what our '55 started out as.
