So who has a cool project going on or gathering parts for? I know there is lots of talent out there. Picture up. I dont have anything going on now myself. Thinking about a redo of my el camino.

Non Corvette?
I have a 23 T-bucket that has the stock motor from my Vette in it. A convertible bug I'm building for my wife and a 46 Studebaker that's getting C-4 suspension under it.
The bug is much further along than this, I can't seem to find any pics of it though. This is from the day I painted it.

My truck. Was my grandpa's 69 GMC lwb with a 250/pg. Will be a swb, 4,6 inch drop, original Poly Turquoise, original interior, original wheels with hub caps, 5.3/4l65e.
All I have to do is put the rear end together and in and the rolling chassis will be complete.

I've always like those I used to own a 69 Chevy. Makes it even cooler that it was your grandpa's. Keep us updated on your progress.

Thanks, just might have to do that. Though it's been going a bit slow as its been freezing ***** outside. I think the 67-72s were one of the better looking GM trucks.

And he got some new seats for Christmas..
He and my stepmother bought me some seats for Christmas too. I can't post pictures until Dec 25th though.
Here's what I'm working on even though it's like 25 in the garage.

Im going to redo my el camino in 2011. Its a 1969 SS396. I have had it for 25 years. Im going to re-paint it back to black with some dark charcoal SS stripes. The drivetrain is all new, maybe 2000 miles max. I havent driven it much until recently. Its a 4 speed car with a 12 bolt posi. I want to change the rear gears, it has 4.11's and I want some freeway flyer gears.

Some of you are already familiar with my project, but for those that aren't...
I've got a '90 ZR-1 that I've been working on. I bought it back in April '09 off of "that auction site" with a broken timing chain and engine partially disassembled by the previous owner.
Interior is close to being done, engine is out and mostly disassembled. Still lots to do. Full thread with lots of pics here if your interested:
