Re: Any other projects in your garage?
I just bought another '64 , plus I am almost finished replacing the quarters on my '70SS El Camino and I just put a TBI set-up on my '72 El Camino. I don't have current pics of my '51 Chevy truck or my '69 SS Chevelle that are waiting their turn.

Re: Any other projects in your garage?
My current project, other than my truck, is a '71 Bultaco Alpina 250 I recently acquired. It runs very well, just needs a lot of cosmetic attention. All it needed to run was a spark plug cap and fresh gas. It still has the original Spanish-made Perelli tires on it, which still the little nipples from the mold. I'm going to strip it down to the frame, clean/paint/polish/inspect everything and put it back together. Then I might sell it, or I might keep it around for a pit bike at the races.
![]() ![]() I also race cross-country motorcycles, so my dad and I have two KTM 200SXs. At the moment its more like one and a half. The crankshaft broke in my bike, and when I split the cases I found one gear tooth missing in the transmission, and a couple others were cracked. This is just a couple problems in the long string of random problems I've had with the bike. It ran like a raped ape but not anymore. Its been moved to the barn to sit for decades because I can't stand to look at it anymore. Now I am trying to find a job so I can save up for a Yamaha. lol. No more orange bikes for a while. ![]() ![]() This one isn't my project, but its at my place: I have a friend that has a serious lack of good judgment, that paid $1700 for a '66 Corvair that is really a peice of junk. It nearly killed him(long story). So now its sitting in my pasture because he doesn't have a place to keep it. He's been trying to sell it on craigslist for $700, but nobody has even called. And I think the last of my projects is my '69 C-20 that is now becoming less of a project. Its now at the all-that's-left-is-dinky-little-things stage. ![]() ![]()

Re: Any other projects in your garage?
Don't know the exact name / paint code, but it's a mid 70's,, (around 74-76) Buick and Olds factory color. The light color was a custom mix of cream, tinted with the green.

Not exactly an unfinished project or anything, but I like having these old B-Bodies around. Here's my '96 Impala.
![]() The story about this one (and my truck for that matter) is on my Car Domain page, if you're interested. ![]() http://www.cardomain.com/ride/542531 |

I've got a former 71 RS/SS396 project. It's my 4th 70-81. Put it on hold when I started doing house rehabs, and now doing the dream house (5000 sq ft 3 story 1890 victorian). Then I got the 62 GMC 1000 Panel that was a minor basket case! Camaro had the posi, TH400, and "396" (actually they were a 402 in 71+) yanked and put in a nice looking 307/TH350 car that was already restored... I'm all about cornering over having a car that flies like a bullet in a straight like and can';t turn worth a crap. So I decided unless I came across a great deal on a #'s matching engine, I'd keep it light. Built a nice streetable 406 small block chevy, Edelbrock E-Tec al. heads (like the LS1 chambers/runners, sorta like an aluminum vortec aftermarket), full roller valvetrain and custom cam with big lift, modest duration, and a wide LSA to keep the street manners. 9.6:1 compression. Have an airgap RPM intake for it with a 750 AFB, but I think I will eventually swap to a GM TBI setup to keep it looking similar to a carb plus lots of wires all over... Unless I go with the psuedo-Weber 8 x 1 barrells with a stack type fuel injection setup... I want to stay away from the modern TPI manifold look if I can, but fuel injection has my vote for efficiency and good manners. The rest of the car is a Tremec 5 speed, Ultra 16X8's (look like Enkie's or Firebird GTA wheels), Sumitomo HTR-Z 255/50/16's (awesome grip!), Global West tubular a-arms and solid del-a-lum bushings, BIG sway bars, 12" front discs, 11.1 rear discs, 3.23 posi, al. d-shaft, sub connectors, Stiffer springs all around (lowered), IAS shocks, and I'm gonna fab up some Herb Adams VSE style cowl/firewall to A-arm chassis stiffener braces to make the thing a real stiff deal. Probably doing a fiberglass hood and fenders at some point, as well as deck lid. This is all years down the road at this point. I have 90% of the parts, but -210% of the time... Here's some old shots: tried to do a photo of the outside of the house, technical problems (need to reinstall photoshop to resize it) |
