Ok, so I think I'm a typical car guy with too many cars, not enough time and not enough money. Every weekend I'm working on something, but what that is depends on funds and priority. It would be nice to have a place to chronicle all that we are working on, my partner in crime being my oldest son who is currently 17. Projects include my 1964 El Camino, that I have had since 1990 when I was 16.
My son followed in my footsteps and bought a 65 Camino when he was 13. We had it running and driving before he turned 16, but it has been an ongoing project ever since I dragged it home for him.
Both of these cars see plenty of strip time, but with him running and me getting tired of beating on my Camino for all these years, I've decided to more or less retire it and build a dedicated drag car. Enter the Henry J project.
In addition to that I have a 1970 F100 that technically belongs to the wife. It's a nice, clean original truck, 2wd longbed with a 360 and 4 speed. I swapped out the original 2bbl manifold for a factory 4bbl manifold and a Holley 600. It has almost no rust and only 1 repaint as far as I can tell, and about 80k on the odometer. It really needs a healthy 390 or 410 FE. No pics of that one though.
Then there's the latest project for my oldest daughter. I really should enter it in the under $5k challenge, but it's easier to keep everything in one place 'cause I'm lazy like that. It's a 1993 Camry that I got for free because the engine overheated (badly,) but it was free and the body and interior are nice. No pics of this one either yet.
Anybody interested??
