Setting aside the time and money factor for now, I'm interested in learning what our shop owners here would build for their own personal use and why you choose that particular car or truck...

I would build either my 67 chevelle with corvette suspension with my 475 cu in LSX engine with Procharger. It would have 4130 tube chassis with killer plumbing for every aspect of the build. I have already started on this bad boy, I just need more time and money.

I would also like to work on my 36 ford 3 window with a stack injected 270 hemi with 5 speed. I have a million ideas for this car also. It would tail dragger style.

Someday, I still need to finish and sell my truck project.

Actually I have few projects not shown on the internet yet. @ of them are chevelles. One of them will blow your mind and the owner does not want to post them yet. It is wedged, and chopped and looks killer. The tube frame is a work of art. Now my chevelle has few pics on my website, but I'm still working on parts.

my boss and I dropped a 426 Hemi into his 68 GTX vert...

we did some maintinance work on his 1970 Plymouth Superbird

My 68 Charger will be pro touring sooner or later (time and money)

My 69 Road Runner will be an A12 clone but will be built to be able to compete in the FAST class

why ? Because that is what we do... Mopar restorations... We also work on everything else but having a Hemi car and a Superbird is good advertising in itself

That would be my baby, someday. I do not know if I could fit all the engine I have planned under a flat hood.

Obviously gotta be tough getting your own stuff built in a busy shop. But I think folks really like seeing what shop owners create when they design and build their personal rides.
