Cool Project Junkyard...Part 1!!!

Well i dont even have it home yet and im already making plans. I dont really know how fast this project will go getting together. Really depends if i sell the s-10. Its hopefully going to be a car that the money was spent in all the right places. I plan on researcing every part that goes on this car for cost vs return. The only thing that i have studied so far is the cage and rear end / rear susp. other than that its going to wheels, tires, brakes, and a slick *** body. As far as the buget goes the front susp will be pretty much stock for this year. As far as the body goes it will stay red with a vfn sonoco bubble hood and an ss wing, just a super clean simple look. Cant really decide on the wheels. Two that im thinking of are the Greg Weld stars or the Billet Specialist street lites. Think the cage will be a Wolf 10 point that is tied to there subframes with a funny addition and as far as the rear goes im thinking hard on the M9 with the t/a it comes with. Other than that it will be alot of late nights in the LSX parts for sale section Let me know some imput guys good or bad...
Here is what we are going to start with.... She is a purdy thing aint she.....

Why the change from the s10? That will be a good project. I am planning something as well but I am trying to get my house sold first. Al is thinking about changing his car back to a street car.

Also, what class are you talking about? Is it in Jackson or Holly Springs?

Yeah, I think we talked about it in the southern section. I just never got around to getting up there. That was with the lil stock 6.0 in mine. If i can i would love to get up that way with whatever i build this year, I didnt run at all this summer.I got to get something back together...

Jason will be a little faster next time. He bought my old TA which is MUCH lighter than his old car.

After the body work is done it may have a clear title but it may be a reconstructed.. Doesnt matter to me, it wont be a streetcar.
