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

I got most of the floor mat made for the F1. The owner found the material on a site called hayneedle.com. Its a recycled rubber in 4' widths by various lengths and it has a pebbled texture thats pretty darn close to what my 73 Duster came with. Inexpensive too. Bob, truck owner, dropped the seat off so thats in now. Looks friggin neat! Need a little more mat material of I can cover the firewall. The upholsterer he used gave him some interesting info on the seat frame. He likes to get them powder coated, after repairs but before covering, as he said this takes care of squeaks/groans from the frame and springs. Getting closer now. Once I'm done with this, I'm out and retired.

My 84 year old friend and neighbor wanted me to have HIS fathers 59 Biscayne which has been sitting in Colorado for 40 years . Well DUH.... Road Trip!! Car is Unbelievable COMPLETELY rust free, and Remarkably Intact . Everything free and in working order. So far evaluation needs , shows new fluids , the brake hydraulics, a fresh tune,and fuel. So far, just cleaned her up,inside and out, and buffed up the original laquer. 235 thrift six, 3 on the tree..... radio delete total cheapo Survivor ! Never thought I would own a Chebbie. But the price was right! I had to Rescue this Orphan. couldn't let it slip away. Don't worry, Mopar is still numero uno in my world!

They all can't be mopars, but they should be... built this when I worked in a garage with unlimited supply of small block chev four bolt mains and steel crank. Started life as an orange, six cylinder. Every nut and bolt removed from car.

Posting here at the risk of thread necro, but a quick search didn't yield any other non-mopar car threads.

1994 Mazda Rx-7. Picked this car up a few weeks ago. I've always loved the styling, I think they're still one of the most beautiful Japanese cars of the last 50 years. I find the rotary engine to be very cool. Effortless RPM. Makes all the right hotboi turbo noises and will kick you in the pants above 4500 RPM (redline is 8500).

Rather unmolested except for the single-turbo conversion, which is a pretty common swap due to the complexity of the original twin turbo setup. Clean body, no rust, no accidents. Paint was redone somewhat recently but it's not perfect.

Needs some basic cleanup work and either the tune is off or the fuel pump is weak. It leans out under boost at higher RPM. I don't love the wheels, so that's probably on the list as well. The interior plastics are typical 90s quality, so will need to overnight parts from Japan.

This winter I’d like to install a set of tubular control arms on my ’58. If I go with QA1 I’ll have to go with coil over shocks too, it’s a’75 Nova front suspension so there’s tons of options.

1988 S10 Sport sitting outside on a farm since 1994!
It's rust free, somehow.

Bought it last year, daily driving it now.
Put some videos on the YouTube.

Aside from my '68 Sport Satellite project, I'm making minor progress on a '37 Chevy Coupe and my wife's '49 Dodge Coronet Coupe (in the background).
