A '49 caddy would be cool to chop and drop. So would a '59, for that matter. Sure, they're pretty common, but I love rolling Detroit art.
My mother has my Grandfather's 84 Lincoln town car. I keep seeing a 3" chop, hiding all the chrome except the grill and smoothing out the door handles, and an air bag drop. Tuck in the rear wheels, put 22" rims on it and sell it. Every Pimp's dream ride. It's got factory Bill Blass gold paint- Pure bling.

Many dreams. First dream is nearly done. I'll be moving into my new shop by the end of the year. Next dream is to finish my bus project. That will take at least 2 years. This will involve replacing all of the sheetmetal below the windows, about 40 feet of 18 gage steel. Eventually I'd like to build a 2 man Indy car similar to Ford's entries for the 1935 race. This would be a street car. I've been gathering pieces for a Bonneville project. This will be for the G blown gas lakester class. I've had a '29 ford roadster pickup since 1966. I should do something with that. A few years ago I built a '29 Ford dwarf car that I'd like to stretch about 10" and re-body as a roadster also for the street. I've been thinking about a Geo Metro powered high mileage vehicle, goal would be about 75 mpg. Lots of fun ahead.

Toying with an idea
I'd like to build a 1934 Ford PU as a daily driver with good MPG. Chopped, channeled, stretch the doors, full fendered. Issue always becomes leg room. So here's the idea a buddy and I came up with the other day - use a front wheel drive unit out of a Nissan or? Maybe stretch the cowl a few inches for added leg room.
Still need to do some measuring. I think the front axle location may be too far back in the front wheel drive cars vs the PU. The PU puts the front axle under the radiator. Ok, so here's where I need help. Zippy motor - not afraid of desiel - but still must rank up there in MPG's. Preferrably stick. And the transaxle needs to put the front wheels as far forward as possible. Anyone have an idea for a donor car? John |

Heard someone say that a goal without a plan is a dream. Since I have no plan to ever do this, I guess my ultimate dream project would be to build a replica of the Delahaye type 165 roadster. Now that is a dream.
