Nothing to do with Supra, but everything to do with those of us on here that love to tinker and restore . . . if you appreciate a classic restoration, enjoy.

My father-in-law finally completed restoring/modifying his '33 Chevy Coupe after owning it since 1960. The entire body is all original steel, but everyting else is pretty much custom. Cool huh?

That's a beauty for sure. I love the color too. I love the old rods. I'm on the watch for a Chevy Bel-air wagon. If I find one, the wife wants to rock that for the family truckster, but she said it has to have a big block. Awesome.:D


bdumas, that SV is sexy. I really like the front end.

Wow - that would be really cool! I'm just happy my wife is ok with the boat! Good luck on the Bel-air wagon, or even a Nomad.

I've got two projects that I'm currently working on. Maybe I'll find some photos to share....

1968 F250 tow vehicle. body is solid, dana front and rears, big block with a brand new edelbrock and I'm upgrading it to power disk brakes and wiring it up for a modern trailer wiring harness. This one is going to take a while.

1983 Kawasaki 550 jet-ski. Just rebuilt the engine and am finishing up new wiring, fuel lines, coolant lines and a thorough cleaning. It will be a rat-ski because someone painted over the original graphics with flat black. It's been crashed at least twice and I sunk it last year. It won't look pretty, but it SHOULD ride nice!

Wagon = 4 door, Nomad = 2 door. Need 4 doors with kids, but I do love the Nomads.

Yes.

I hope to get this ole girl in my garage one day. An Excalibur with a 383ci shoved into it. This little monster will haul!!! But it's my uncles. I told him he can't sell it without talking to me first, he agreed.

clint...awesome! Hand controls?

haugy...the Bel Air would be really cool. Would love to do that, too. My Dad's first car was a 56 Chevy 210. I've always thought it would be cool to restore one and give it to him.

You know, as a handicapped person myself you woulda thought I had noticed that too. But not until you pointed it out! Thats my kinda ride!!

BTW, did you know that in the state of NC in order to drive with hand controls you must retake your driver's license road test? What a long process it was to get my license back after breaking my spine.

Yeah - hand controls. My father-in-law broke his back over 40 years ago, but has done amazing things since then - real determination!
