The sign out front said to check in here, before opening my trap, so here I am. I'm the epitome of too many projects and not enough time or money. Though in my book, build it the old fashioned way: scrounge around for the parts cheap and make 'em fit. Might explain why 330 ft of my north fence is a parking lot for non-running cars. Anyway, just never been able to settle down and say "that's the one I'm gonna build" and sell off the rest. Always somethin' new to play with. Been that way since I was 16. That's how I got here. Wound up with a 1963 Lemans convertible, and needed to learn more about the transaxle setup. seems everyone takes the route of yanking it out, throwing some big cubes under the hood and a standard big car rear end out back. Me, I don't like to do the same route as everyone else. I'm thinking it'd be kinda neat to keep the nearly 50/50 weight balance, do some modern tweaking and make it so it's drivable 32 miles back and forth to work every day with today's fuel prices. There's gotta be a way. "Never tell a hotrodder it doesn't fit." John
