I'm in my Porsche 928S4 5 spd, not rebuilding per se, but, doign a massive PMCS evaluation pulling the Body off the Chassis (Engine, Torque Tube, and Transmission/Differential) and finding/fixing the gremlins that bedeviled the previous owner. I also have a buddy-project (a total joke) with my long time friend (since we were like 10 yrs old) which is 2 old Mustangs. He was supposed to be the money man ie buys the panels and we do the installation, and I do the blasting/priming, but, he's been awol on the fiscal front! LOL!

my GM mess
 
finishing up the bed for the world's most expensive F250...... not mine







 
Just maintenance on the rest of my "fleet" lol a 1999 pontiac grand prix that was given to us in a very neglected state, fixing & updating the mess of a car that it is to keep it roadworthy. And keeping my 1/4-million-mile 1999 Acura TL going strong lol

I am also the unofficial mechanic for the father-in-laws 71 C10 with a healthy, albeit redneck spec, small block (huge cam, huge carb, racing intake, glass packs off the headers and a 3.08 rear gear). It sounds good but is worthless as an actual truck and slow unless you're going 50mph or faster lol he won't listen to me on matching things up that work. Oh well, it's not my truck and he pays in money & beverages when I get things in or put back together lol

Got my driver - 1966 Chevy II . . . keeps my head in the game and allows me to attend car shows and keep motivated . . .

Got the original 283 V-8 with 3 on the tree - fun little car to drive - swapped out front drums with disc, headers and new exhaust, electronic high output ignition, changed front bench to bucket seats . . .

Got a Heidt front end clip sitting in the shop waiting for the Belvedere to get completed ( then the Chevy II gets an upgrade ).

Engine - was thinking LS1 - but I'm now leaning toward building up the 283 and keeping this 3 on the tree ( don't see many 3 on the tree anymore ) . . .

Plenty of time for me to think on this project . . .
 
My 5 year 1963 Olds Starfire project is just about finished and I'm thinking about moving on...

I have my 03 Mustang GT that I cruise and 1/4 mile race. I bought it in '05 when I was 22 and it was bone stock. Right now it has the stock short block, Trick Flow heads, Edelbrock intake and a nasty set of cams. The trans is the stock 5 speed Tremec and I built the rear end with a set of 31 spline axles and carrier and 4.56 gears. Best E.T. to date is 12.08. Still have A/C, cruise, 6 disk stereo, etc.

Well I guess the neon doesn't count?
It's tagged as a mopar but is Mitsubishi,Mercedes,dodge,god knows what else you guys decide if it can stay or not
 
besides my GTX....... this is my "other" project.......... the Green one will be sacrificed...... the Machine is a complete #s car, wheels, hood, and all..... it's not even all that bad, but the parts on the green one are too nice not to use

I have so many it makes my head spin. Can't bring myself to sell any of them, but I don't have to either.
