What other Car projects that are non Mopar does anyone have going on right now?

My Camaro got an RS package for Christmas so that's the latest thing that's been going on at my place. The job is actually more than just a bolt on thing. The rear valance needed to be cut into and there's a fair bit of work modifying and welding the front headlight brackets onto the fenders. Going well, making it last and a new look coming up. Before that I designed and built a drop deck trailer for the Harley in the fall. Loading the bike is fast and effortless..

That's beautiful,let me know when it's ready to be bought. I had a 1969 F-250 4x4 360, 4 speed.
I then bought a new F-250 4x4 automatic and it was the last High boy.

That's one hell of an awesome trailer! You should patent that.

Thanks BeeKool! I drew it all out on the floor beforehand so it went well. The axle was the tricky part as you could imagine and it rides on 1750 lb leafs.
 
Ford N series tractors always something.
 
And, this also fell into my lap sort of unplanned for, a 2003 Honda RC-51 that was crashed, got it cheap! Will put it back on the road. Pulling it all apart to assess and repair.

I finally did a wheel and tire upgrade on my 63 Olds Starfire that I have been wanting to do for a long time. The wheels are 17 by 9 alloys from a 95 Chevy Impala SS with Z-rated Nitto 255-50-17 tires. These are a perfect fit on the car and clear everything but the problem was the original lug studs were too short for the thicker wheels and the left side studs were left hand thread like the earlier mopars. I finally paid a shop to switch out all the studs, now they are all right hand thread and the correct length. I mounted the wheels last week on a warm day.

Those wheels work real nice on the Olds.
 
Well just about have the pop in laws nova ready for a road test. Got the interior done excpt for the front seats. Decide to put a navi in the custom console so figuring out how to machine the bezel to recess it....

Larry I'm really pleased with the way its turning out..my f-n-l was worried about the color combo, but I knew blue and silver would work together. He's pretty happy now.
I took a week off after Christmas to get all the electrical done...the only thing I have left are a couple of things I can't do until the console is in.
We have a problem though something started making a noise which could only be explained as a LOUD pulley squeal sound. It only happens when the motor is at temp (190-200).,, pulled the belt and it still happens.
He thinks it's a vacuum leak but I'm pretty sure its the pressure plate. I went over there at lunch just so I could here it today and its hard to pin point but I'm still convinced it's there...

Here's my '68 442 project. Had I know I was going to find an FM3 RR, I don't think I would have taken this one on yet, but I'm in too deep to turn around now!

I have the bed mounting done on the 49, cab mounting is almost there, replaced the floor on the cab and am currently getting the front clip mocked up. Once I get the front end figured out, the cab will come off so I can change the firewall and toe boards. This weekend, its back to my car. I had been working on my car in the evenings after I got home but with all the up and down, weird positions etc my butt is beat/stiff/sore so evening time is for chill out and clean off the crud from the hide.

Here is one of my own personal cars that I have been picking away at for the the last couple of the years. Start out with an all original 79 Malibu 267, Auto, Bucket seats none a/c car. Since purchase I've done a Viking coil over conversion in the front and smooth body double adjustable shocks in the rear. Tubular upper and lower control arms in the front and boxed in the rear. I have also built a 383 SBC for it. But still have not manager to find the time to install as well as a cowl hood and rims. I hope to get the engine swap and rear swap done in the up coming months.





 
I just got a new non mopar project it needs no introduction you all know it well.

My other neighbor has some cars he wants me to work on. 2 fastback barracudas 67, 8 or 9 Not sure which is what year at this point, He also has a 65 and a 66 Barracuda. All of which need to be worked on. But here is his toy. Some people on here may know the car. I believe FistyMopar did a lot of the work on the notch back.

For the last year I have been working on a 1969 ss chevelle. It's been a big project. I took it to AMD and they installed the quarters, floor pans and trunk pan. The second pic is Craig Hopkins and one of his employee at AMD when I picked up the body. I built a 427 BB and have a M22 rockcrusher.
