How bout some E-type Shaguar pics ?

[bchaffin72]

I have owned and done my own work on:

1962 Dodge Lancer with pushbutton automatic transmission
(worked well, when it worked at all)

1965 Chevrolet Impala wagon with 327 V8
(so big you should wear a captains hat when driving it)

1966 Dodge pick-up with 440 V8 and Cadillac front seat
(need the support of the seat to handle the acceleration)

1967 Plymouth Fury 2 two door with 383 V8
(chewed up a lot of dirt roads in this)

1967 Ford Galaxy 500 with 351 Cleveland V8
(a nice,swift ride. Looked good too.)

1969 Chevrolet pick-up with 455 Buick V8
(the top speed on this beast broke the stock speedometer)

1973 Audi Fox, mildly race modified
(most fun I ever had in a small car)

Could we see pictures of your works? I would like to have an idea on how I want my car to be restored. Am aiming for the Volvo P1800 and "modernising" it's style :)

[bchaffin72]

Unfortunately, I have no pictures of mine, and I am a long way away from any of them. I will say that I do not care for the facelifted Volvo. I am not a fan of the bumperless,monochrome look on classic cars. I always stayed with minor modifications that enhanced the original appearance, rather than altering it.

[bchaffin72]

Almost forgot the one project car I really wanted to finish but never got to.

1962 Corvair Monza 900, rear mounted flat 6 air cooled engine and 4 speed transaxle. Would have been nice to have gotten that one road worthy again.
