Project Goals

Both cars will be restored simultaneously in hopes to be in a drivable state sometime in 2010. Our original plan was to be done for the 2007 Dream Cruise - but our projects got too out of hand to make that timing. Parts will be fabricated or re-engineered and added as necessary. The overall goal is to build two cars we can drive and enjoy daily and not worry about devaluing a 60k muscle car. With the addition of modern powertrains, we will now be able to get reasonable fuel mileage in comparison to the gas guzzling FE's, and have cruise control to top things off.
