We can go drive curvy backroads out FM3090 and SH 30. Maybe go out to eat somewhere. And maybe go shoot somewhere too. Idunno. Throwing it out there.

I'd be down....the GTP isn't very fast, but a good cruise is always fun.

Just a little bit of a car nut. My whole family is, actually.

I have my baby, my 1974 Chevy Nova. (thus my user name).

Back in its glory days:



Then this happened:


So I started a rebuild. Stripped it down, pulled the motor, sandblasted/repainted the subframe, new suspension, new brakes, new bushings, etc.
Went from this:

To this:


Then I ran out of money.

Some of our other family projects:
My sisters 1953 Chevy pickup. It'll be sitting on an 80s S-10 frame (so modern suspension, 4 wheel disk brakes, etc) with an LS1/T-56 6 Speed to power it.


My dad has a 1950 Plymouth that he's never gotten around to fixing (probably mine and my sisters fault with our projects)


If I ever get the Nova done, this is my next project, a 1984 Pontiac Fiero. Midengine, RWD....could be a fun sleeper.


My granddad picked up this beauty a few years ago....1942 Studebaker. Original everything except interior (rats got to it). Still a 6 volt, positive ground car. I took it to prom my Junior year.


And the daily driver, a 98 Pontiac Grand Prix. 240 hp supercharged V6, so its not bad for a 4 door daily. Its the first car I've ever owned with power anything, and thats nice too.


So in short, I'd say yeah, I guess I'm a car guy.
