Here's some projects I want to do when I have the time, money, etc:

 
I would like to take a 1967 Chevrolet C10 pickup and hot rod it by:
  • Installing a 572 ci GM Performace big block V8 mated to a Turbo 400 transmisssion.
  • Install a Dana 60 rear end.
  • Install a 4" front and 6" rear drop suspension from Early Classic Enterprises.
  • Disc brakes on all four corners.
  • Move the tailgate handle to the inside and smooth the tailgate except for the Chevrolet lettering.
  • Install the wood panel bed kit from Early Classic.
  • Relocate the gas tank by installing the one from Early Classic.
  • Bucket Seats
  • Maybe smooth out the door handles
  • Install a custom audio system from Alpine and JL Audio
  • Install a Datoka Digital Gauge kit
  • Of course a custom interior.
  • Painted a nice medium blue with maybe some flames by Killer Paint

I would also like to restore a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 with a 428 ci CJ, but I will do a complete code match anyway.

Here's a one off project I want to do but some one may do it before I do.  I want to take a 1997 Nissan Quest and highly modify it by:
  • Taking out the stock 3.0L V6 and drop in a 351 ci Ford Racing V8 mated to a Ford high performance transmission, probably a C6
  • Take out the front suspension and put in a Mustang II front suspension.
  • The driveline will be changed from FWD to RWD
  • All transmission and rear end tunnels will be put in.
  • Put in probably a Ford 9 inch rear end
  • Install a four-link rear suspension
  • Install a custom dual exahst
  • Do a custom interior
  • Install Dakota Digital Gauges
  • Install a custom audio system from Alpine and JL Audio.
  • Ride height maybe 2 - 3 inches lower.
  • Probably have to do a custom hood to house the new engine
  • Probably painted black with the tru fire paint job from Killer Paint

Another project I want to do with a 1997 Nissan Quest is:
  • Again take out the V6 and put in a 351 ci Ford Racing V8 with maybe a Vortech supercharger or a roots type, mated to a C6
  • Also the engine will be converted to fuel injection
  • Drive will be changed to 4WD from FWD
  • Custom interior
  • Install Dakota Digital Gauges
  • Custom Sound system from Alpine and JL Audio.
  • A custom off road suspension with ride height about 6 to 8 inches higher.
  • A full roll cage
  • Probably install heavier duty front and rear bumpers
  • Run the tallest tire that can possibly fit, probably 35 - 37 inches with beadlock wheels.

One of the many realms that exist.  Especially for me.
