Yea... when I think about it too... I was running the anniversary 17inch wheels and he had the 15 inch welds.
This project kills 2 birds with one stone.
We sold my wife's Tibruon (No great loss there). And she's been searching for a 99 - 02 WS6 Trans Am or Firehawk. Nothing in our price range has really caught my wife's fickle attention span. She brought up the idea of buying our son's car from him and converting it to a road racer and I said I'd rather do my 93 GT than his 90 LX. Than she ask how much money would it take to turn the car into something that would match her 96 Cobra. I did the math and it came up less than half what it would to buy a car she likes,.. plus adding in what she will want to do to it. This way we are creating a car from scratch that we both can live with and it will be what we both want.
Sometime in mid Jan Bryan (351Coupe) will be getting the car and doing the paint and body work. Hoping it gets done by March. During that time I will be building a motor and my wife will be sourcing out the interior parts that she wants to change. It will be her daily driver and my weekend fun car. Plan is that when it gets back she will attack the interior and I will handle the suspension and drive train.
Colder than a witches you know what out there right now and supposed to get even colder tonight. Spent half the day today bringing in all the out door plants so they dont freeze. Most of them are tropical and wont survive the cold like that. The whole Florida room looks like a jungle LOL
