hey all, the deal fell through on a car i was going to buy today so long story short i'm in the "what next?" boat.. (i'm sure everyone's been here before) just wondering what you guys would do for a budget build, just kind of looking for a fun daily to slowly add a few parts while i save up for a heavy hitter build in the future. i'm just having a hard time thinking outside the box on what to buy, car or truck, v8 or turbo inline 6, etc. looking for some ideas... help me haha. cheers!

kory.

 

turbo 4.2 '68 cutlass wagon

 

Budget build or fun DD... on your current ride? Whatever that may be, since u didn't say. Or a clean slate? Non truck or ...?

 

well a ford f550 doesnt make a good project vehicle, so clean slate. truck or car, not really sure where to start to be honest. more or less trying to weed out what would work as a decent daily that could be fun with minor bolt ons for now, and eventually throw it into the garage for a complete build. just sort of stumped because i have extreme car ADD and change my mind every 5 minutes lol.

 

Good pt. on the F550.
If u get a truck, do a turbo maybe?
A car... anybody can do a bellybutton. Do different.

I had somethin in mind in my earlier post for a car... a Fairmont w/. an LS turbo. But now I got it, a 6 spd. M too. All the Fox components fit.

 

a friend of mine is suggesting picking up a v6 obs gmc, and dailying it for awhile, then a v8 swap. he's a vague bastard though so i'm not sure whats going through his head lol
