Cars are what I do for a living so I always have different stuff. Currently our old cars in the garage: My wife has a 1971 Karmann Ghia that is a 50,000 mile car all stock. It is a exact car of her first car I bought her several years ago as an anniversary present. I have a 69 Olds Vista Cruiser wagon. 70,000 miles. In process of gathering everything (trim etc) pieces I want before taking it apart for a repaint and new wood. Paint is just old and a few minor dents etc. All stock except tinted windows and Rader Tri Rib wheels to give a good 60s look. Dual exhaust also. I want it to look like a pit wagon at the drags in the late 60s like I remember. I will add a few speed parts from the era. When I build a car I usally don't put anything on it newer than 3 years past the age of the car. I also have a model A and a 24 chevy. that are in the works. The chevy will be built as a old Indy race car style car. The model A will be a Jalopy style running the stock 4 cylinder with speed parts. My cars are built on a budget. I have built several magazine and show winning cars. I am just not into that anymore. I like my stuff to look nice but I drive them. My preferance has always been 50s-60s cars mostly. I really like early super stock drag racing style stuff. I could talk about cars all day. Thanks for asking. Scott
