Default Project Car

Well I'am please with my truck, but I think I might buy a beater car and make it into something nice next. Looking at some Dodge's on the local listings, found an Omni, and a number of Shadows. I want to do some sort of muscle car up, but they're hard to find around here. Any ideas?

Shadows/Sundances/Dusters are great project cars, and they're very unique. Not many people put any effort into them. My project car is a '93 Plymouth Duster. It was my very first car, so I could never bear to part with it. So I swapped in a turbo engine and did a bunch of other stuff to it. I love the response I get at car shows and driving around town.

So, my vote is for a P-Body! [sm=smiley20.gif]

That would be good or if you could find an old shelby Charger and make it RWD and keep the turbo 2.2. That would be bad ***.

I love my shelby charger It was my first car too. The current one is not it but works for me since it the same year but ithas a sunroof. I also own a small group of P bodies.Fun to drive and mess with but are to heavy in my mind.
My current SC.

My past sundance which was converted to turbo. First pic was the best it every looked. Second pic was common look it had.



Or my home brewed muscle car my arrow. Car the size of a geo metro with a sb 360 mopar. Backhalf with 11.5 slicks. First pic is before I bought it. Second is the motor installed.
