What non Olds builds do have going on.
I have two right now. One is for a friend he has a 78 Bronco. I'm building him a 460 to go in it. I'm going to have to do some rewiring, bodywork, and we will see how much money he has left over and go from there.
The other one is for my nephew he has an 83 GMC 1500 4x4. That needs a lot of work, his dad going to help him most of it. My main thing is going to help with deciding what parts to buy. He has some weird ideas on what works, but he's only 15 and this is his first build.
As always my Cutlass is first on the list to fix, but if I can make a little money on the side. Then why not.

1968 Chevelle, L79 327 engine
Drivetrain is solid, the car is a fast fast street rod - sounds like one of the horsemen of the apocalypse. No rust, body straight, but it needs paint and interior love. About to sell it, though - rather concentrate on my '67 Cutlass Supreme convertible and '69 98 convertible

I started a 72 Corvette project. Rebuilt the entire front end, the brakes and brake lines, the exhaust and mufflers. Enough to make it driveable only to find out that it wasn't the cool *** car as a kid that I fell in love with. As of late it just sits and takes up space. Maybe one day I'll finish what I started, but I better hurry I'm only 44 and I already have problems getting out of it.

I'm gathering parts for my 70 Challenger and I have an 83 928S that I'm painting. Interior still needs to be done, but I'm going to sell it to generate funds for my other cars. Unless of course I won the lottery, then I'm keeping all of them.
Hey, she said, " I thought I had plenty of room."

My Scarab will get the attention when the weather starts improving. Dropped a 502/502 in it a couple of winters ago.

Helping a friend bag his 62 caddy..
Its nice when you have a lift...
There is also have a 63 impala, all original 70k mile car with original paint job. It is getting freshened up and a little rust fixed under the trim. My Starfire is currently on the lift and there is also a nissan 240 with a turbo skyline motor blah blah in the shop. This is in a buddies shop who is nice enough to let me work on my stuff and help out on some of his projects.
Oh and a 69 camaro and 59 vw bus for storage...lol

I'm just refinishing the interior in my '68 Corvette. Over the years I've had this down to the bare frame, like most projects there's always something to do on it.

non Olds projects
My biggie is a 1971 AMC Javelin-retro straight axle gasser style, with 354 Chrysler Hemi power and 57 Olds rear. Major tear down as soon as spring hits. I also have a 1963 Ford Falcon that I am trying to sell; if I can't, then we are looking at turbo 2.3l Ford w/T5 and suspension mods.

I bought the Delta to be a daily driver, but lately, I've spent more time getting it together than I have on the reason I bought it...
My project car is a 2001 Mustang GT Bullitt.
The goal for it is to be 6-Speed and Vortech Supercharged. Right now, I've been cleaning and detailing. Finished a few little things on her, but essentially, right now, she's allowed to chill in the garage.
