dr galaga,
I don't think a 91 S-10 qualifies as a classic yet. although they are great little pick ups. My recently retired S-10 had 376K miles on it. If you hold on to it long enough eventually it will be a classic.  '>

I have a few in the works. 64 El camino (all original). 71 GMC Jimmie blazer with factory 2WD (less than 400 2WD models were made by GMC in 71), almost finished with a frame off restoration. 62 Ford Falcon coupe, this will be my daughters first car and a 72 Chevy K5 4x4 Blazer.

I have built 3 1957 Chevrolets with my father. Out first was a 4 door sedan, the second was a Nomad wagon and the third was a red two door hardtop all three were complete frame off restorations. We have also owned a 55 chevy, 70 Nova, and a 63 Impala. This is how I got into this hobby. I can remember when I was young looking at a sea of 81's and 44's in out garage. We also built a bunch of gas pumps when I was younger.

Just a 82 280Z now. Dad bought a 65 Mustang coupe new that we finally sold in 95. Dad had few Thunderbirds and I had 4 67/68 Cougars over the years. Been watching the 63 rag top birds and thinking need one.
Steve, one of my favorite shirts is "Lucus Prince of Darkness".

And my favorite bumper sticker of all time read “All of the parts falling off of this car meet the highest British standards!” |

I am near completion of a restoration on my 1970 Chevelle SS396 that I have owned since 1980 and I am working on a 1969 Norton 750 Commando motorcycle that I have own since 1977.

Dave,
Those 396's get going good. Carefull with that Norton. When we were 15 or so tried start Scotts dad's 750 while he was out of town, well it kicked back and bounced Scott off the roof of the garage. Course the bike fell over and it went down hill from there:-) But I'm sure you know all of the gotcha's.
Steve,
I'm still laughing and sure needed it today. Thanks!!

Don't know who said it first but have always kept that in mind.
Fun thread,
