Timido's future project car

[Timido]

Today I got a tetnaus shot and picked up a project car. It might be a lot for me for a first to bring back to life but I am sure I can wing most of it.

I am throwing Ideas around from rat rod to gasser to???? What ever it is it will be a street car first and will probably be able to turn the tires over

Your neighbor is going to love you!

rat rod!!

[JASON408]

:cool1:i just sent a pic in to pimp my ride !!!! maybe you get a call? that thing would look nasty rolling on 35s witha rolls royce grill with you rolling it with a mouth full of ice :D

[PonymanfiveO]

what is your obsession with those cars Tim?


looks cool btw. :bigthumb

[mustangboy]

I still like the g-machine idea. I'd start by doing some moderate suspension mods so it handles decent and give it the right stance. As far as engines go an Exlploder motor would be cheap and easy but then again its hard to beat the 408. Can't wait to get up there and see it. I already have my appointment made w/ the Dr to get my shot.;):flipoff:

Cool car Tim. Why dont you do like we talked about? Turbo 302 gasser! Hell I even know a guy with some 427 S/O parts:D, that would be cool.

[Gearhead]

1965 Mercury Comet Caliente. I have a bunch of stuff that came with the car 351 block intake stock 351 heads cam lifters pushrods timing set 9" rear C4 trans. Lots of time to learn body work and dream of the combo.

That will be a cool project. I say make it a rat rod.

If you decide to go the gasser route, I'm sure George's Speed Shop can help you out with that...

I'd go the "fastest street car" route. Something like Craig's Chevy II, but in a Ford.
