If I decide to do it (which wouldnt be for a few months), what should I do. I dont really know all that much about them. He has a late 60’s Skylark with a 350 in it, and its pretty sweet and pulls hard for what he has done to it. :hs: ---

my first choice would be a 67-69 camaro and second choice would be a 'cuda. Also rans would be a roadrunner, gto, challenger, mustang, charger, 442, or chevelle. ---

awww, you guys are so sweet. You really miss me dont cha! :love: If a project like this was undertaken, it would only be done if there was plenty of extra money laying around. Which there certainly isnt right now. I just found out that my grandmother on my moms side of the family is about to kick the bucket, and apparantly she has a shitload of money horded away and its gonna be equally distributed to the grandkids. Now, I havent seen this woman in at least 5 years, so I dont know if im gonna be getting any scrilla out of this or not, but I was talking to my one cousin that is much closer to her, and he said we all might be getting at least $20K, quite possibly a LOT more, depending on how everything is split up/how much her property sells for. Shes kinda reclusive, so none of the grandkids (or the daughters for that matter) really know what all she owns/what all she’s worth. Now, Im obviously not gonna blow it all on some stupid car, a house is more along the lines of what Im thinking, but who knows. Im just thinking out loud. :dunno: ---
