Hey guys I have been doing a bit of thinking lately about other cars to build outside my normal X-series falcons that I like and something with more avail and cheap parts and have been looking at things such as a Vk brock rep .
I would love to hear about other cars you guys would concider for a build and why .I would love to also hear about cars that you think are underated as a project car as most cars that are built up are quite common cars to be built |

I have often thought about a T-bird for my perants (at their cost of course) as one cool classy 50s street cruiser .We had one in our shop a while back for a respray it was a very cool cruiser . While I remember For a street gangstar cruisier I like the continetal in the Usa the one with suicide rear doors .There was one at a Exhuast place once when my car was their very gangstar looking car |

An old Studebaker or something. There was one in street machine a few years back, had a 10L V8 in it.
I'd do one of those just to be different, and it'd definatly stand out! but if I could do up any ford, I'd do up an old Ford Crown Victoria. |

I would love a HK Premier Wagon. Something about bucket seats and steering wheels bigger than the wheels on the car that appeals to me.

Some great cars coming up in this theard .I have thought about bikes as well lately as the build time seems less as long as the money is avail .I like choppers as do most but I realy like the hot rod bobber look if that makes sense (50s hot rod turned bike).
Anyone have underated cars that once done look great . |

Only other car would be an American Hemi (cuda or simular) or a P76. Thats about it really! To many I want from the Ford shed though before they happen. Chev or Holden? Never.

 : But I did have a stroke of fortune today ! While out delivering grey mud, I spied a run down charger peeping out from behind a stack of bricks out the back of the yard ! I asked the customer who owns it and he told me "THEY" were his ! There were 7 of them in various states of disrepair, and said I could have what I need cheap as he just wants to see them put to good use ! He has a couple of very rare examples at home and had collected these ones over the years ! And original E49 he has owned for over 20 years , a Stirling Moss VG coupe ( I have never heard of this one before, But I am far from expert in anything Chrysler) and a couple of other models as well! So I may just have the chance again to own my dream charger , But this time i will finish it and never sell it !
