    I moved this thread to this section so people feel it is OK to post other cars besides Cudas and Challengers. 

    Joe and I restored a 1970 Cutlass.  My Cuda was pretty much done except for clean up stuff and rebuilding the motor.

    My car has been on the rotisserie so long... Sometimes I think it will never get done. I just try to keep faith in the project and savor the little pieces of progress I do make. Like everything when you have the money you don't have the time and when you have the time you don't have the money.

    I have:
    69 SS 396 X-22 Camaro 4-speed restored

    80 Trans Am -  Black & Gold w/black interior T-tops.  69 Pontiac Goat power 400 with turbo 400 trans.  Restored from ground up from a rusty Nebraska pile of crap.

    Current project is a 74 'Cuda 59K mile original, real nice body with a 20 year old paint job.  Currently on a rotissery waiting for paint shop to start thier work.  Have a A-833 pistol grip waiting to replace the original 3 speed and working on finding a bigger power plant.

    At first I thought I was doing this for the cars but I am finding I like the project & working on the cars just as much.

    It seems I get busier and busier each day.I was looking forward to starting on my project cars again this spring but with the countless projects on my ranch to do those dreams are fading fast,lol.I guess i will get to them when i get to them.I just hate seeing them in my shop and not having the time to work on them,maybe mid summer when i get some ranch projects done i can get back to them.
    Show off. You just want us to know you have a ranch and we don't. :bigsmile: :money:

    My 71 Challenger RT is a older restoration being done in 1992 and my 1970 Cuda I just finished last year. My wife knows it is eating at me to put some fresh paint on my Challenger but she wants it left alone so she can drive it.

    I did my T/A and RR as well as some for friends. I currently have a '68 Dart and now we just got a '73 Swinger for the wife. I really wanted to get the Dart going but now I'm told the Swinger is first. All are going to have to wait till next spring for any serious work as we are planning a month long vacation to the east coast to do a Civil War trip as well as Carlisle. We will be gone for the most part of July. We have a lot planned for the month so like I said the cars will wait.   :violin:

    Mulitiple restored. I have two projects but they are other peoples cars. My cars I restored for myself are:
    57 chevy, 69 camaro, 78 camaro, 70 pontiac GTO, 70 challenger (the only one I still own). Once they are all done I get bored and start another project which is why I started restoring on other peoples cars(its cheaper)
