Message: <blockquote data-quote="wawazat" data-source="post: 3610403" data-attributes="member: 35603">Im keeping an eye out for a driver quality 66-67 Nova.  I have no plans to actually start another project for a while, but if I can find a solid shell I would rather buy it now than try to find one in 5-10 years.  I have a habit of collecting Excel spreadsheets of dream builds with parts lists, prices, links to suppliers as well as useful information, etc in them.  I think going to something classic and pre-CANbus has more potential to be a forever car without getting abandoned by replacement part manufacturers.I've always wanted to build a classic car that is fun to drive and handles well enough to push through curves with confidence but also wrinkle asphalt in a straight line.  I am thinking an aftermarket front subframe/suspension setup with a good Watts link rear setup would give me the option to build a solid handling car with a rear end that can handle some high HP if I put DRs on it.  I have also always wanted to build a twin turbo V8 setup with enough power to to hit at least 180mph in a standing 1/2 mile in a classic car.  That puts the budget up to an amount where I need to wait until the kids are grown and paying their own bills before I can dive in that far, hence hoping for a solid driver quality car I could tinker with and take the family out on nice weekends.</blockquote>
