Classic Car Pics. Yours not yours, all things cool or not so cool.

1996 should be considered a classic by now right?
Hell, Hunter's Moon HD in Lafayette is like...
"They don't teach techs how to work on carbureted bikes anymore. We cant touch it."

Yes big block.. he lives for the drag strip. I don’t remember what this motor is.. cool story is that this 69 nova was bought by his uncle new and was a drag only car. Uncle got old and it set for 30 years. Son in law bought it and has it back on the track again. I will get more information and pictures of his vehicles. He does great work and is passionate about it. He’s building a 87 monte ss for my daughter.. here is his chevelle and camper special he has. Better pictures coming View attachment 337225

So it a guy wanted to simply show up to see how that Nova runs, where might he go?

That story on the Nova reminds me of a customer of mine a long time ago. He owned an auto parts store and was a car nut. In 1969, he bought a Z28, took it home and immediately turned it into a drag car. It spent 25+ years in that configuration until he got tired of racing. He then tubbed it and turned it into a street machine. I guess today it would be called a "restomod".

That is a really nice Nova.

Actually when it was tubbed and turned into a street machine that would be called a Pro Street car.

Right in the thick of this right now.
First time I’ve ever done anything like this.




Going to be a 4 door extended bed hardtop, from about 3 donor early 70’s FJ40’s plus a boughten tub.
Cummins 6bt in a ford super duty frame with Dana 60 axles out of a ‘78 F250 that’s been on the farm since new.

Started 4 years ago or so, but hit lots of roadblocks trying to use the ‘78 frame and old tubs, and gave up. Back to it now. Made a lot of progress over the last month.

I'm 6 years into my first build too (1980 CJ7) but I'm not doing anything as drastic as a 4 door conversion.
My deuce & a half windshield is probably the most drastic mod on it.
That thing looks wicked.

Any updates on your Jeep?

Have bought a couple parts, but haven't been working on it. VFW been crazy, and It's either been cold or I've been riding my bike. Sold a bunch of guns (to buy jeep parts) and ended up buying a Harley... lol. Also had to change the plans after my service dog died. Was gonna have a custom dog box for the passenger seat for her. Picked up a set of seats from an Nissan Altima for it the other day. Haven't started re-doing mounts yet.

This is possibly my favorite year GTO. But I do like the '64...and the '67...and the '70.
