Finish the nitrous kit on my truck, do some body work, paint it, and enjoy it.

Meanwhile, I'll be working on my RCSB. Mainly collecting parts to get ready for the 5.3/80E swap. Plan is to get is running N/A, then add the Trick turbo kit.

Also have my '67 Camaro with a NOS nitrous kit waiting to be put on after I finish tightening up the rear suspension. Then I have a retro-fit hyd roller coming from Geoff at EPS. Future plans are either a 4L80E or T56 swap and make it more comfortable to drive.

i have so many in my mind its crazy. most of them unrealistic budget wise.

the only one i can see me doing in the near future is

pre 07 sand car , plan to finally pick up my banshee and begin parting it out to fund the rolling chassis. plan to build my own motor for it . probably not over the top . stroker of some sort n/a . keep it shy of 700 rwhp they tend to go through more parts than my SS after that level.

a 67/68 camaro or nova 2 pro street. Street driven 8 second car would be the goal. although i have swayed toward a pro touring setup that can also go just as fast , comfortably drive on the street and corner. LSX powered of course.

the one that will happen that i probably wont be allowed to touch is a white/silver tbss 2wd for the woman.(after seeing that one @ SAR i may have to copy that setup. tvs1900 8 rib/ 4l80e running 11's all day) maybe my woman would get more into the hobby that way.

Hopefully like to take over my dads 2 decade long Grand national project and actually make it fast, a reliable mid 10s street car would be nice.
After that thinking something to drift in, like to see if its possible to make a truck drift halfway decent..

My dad and I have a 69' RCSB stepside.
It has a I6 wit 3 speed.
The plans for this summer are to keep it a I6:
Longtubes with dual 2.5" exhaust
Offy intake w/ 4 barrel 390cfm Holley
T-5 swap
Front Disk brakes
Bucket seats out of a NBS
carpeting interior
and finally relocating the gas tank to under the bed.

Hope to have everything done by this summer.
Should be fun.

Paint the Oldsmobile 98 that got stalled after I got married and became a dad. Sell it to fund a blower for the VMax.

Finish my 84 Cutlass I bought as a write off, flip it to pay off the VMax.

Find the wife a newer car, and pirate the SC3800 out of her GTP and swap them into my 82 Acadian. (Pontiac's Canadian version of a Chevette. I like oddball crap.)

I doubt I'll get anything done though...

if you get board google the ls6 bmw or 325e. its been done already and there is a guy that makes a kit to put a ls1 and t56 in one. here his is site to look at some of the cars he has done. http://www.nash8503.com/index.html
True, on not passing any gas pumps.

IIRC, I was told how it had some unique option(s), & somethin stuck out as an oddity (rarity might be better word). 8 lug, was that rare on a shortbed '67-'72? I wanna say 72. It was a long time ago, so I've forgotten. 1 of his rides, coulda been that 1 or his Ram SST it was rumored to be an ins. scam. Who knows, along w/. his bro, they crashed, & destroyed a lot of vehicles. Mighta been the , ... or the

Anywho, is yours a small window or a large window?
The '67-72 trucks are classic. I see alot on here enjoy them too.

I have a soft spot for quite a few mid 60's - '72 muscle: GM, Mopar & even a few Fords (not many), but really love the '68-72 Nova. A 68-69 Hemi Dart clone & 71 Demon were ooh ...

Anyone on here mod sleds? I've only been on a snowmobile once, maybe a few times, some 30 yrs. ago. After seeing em blast off 9 & 10 sec. 1/4 ETs running on asphalt about 10 yrs. back, I was impressed.
I think a juiced sled, sounds like it'd be some fun.

So anyone on PT have a sprayed ATV, snowmobile, or jetski? Vids?

current plan is just to fix the little things with my truck and enjoy it... and i gotta buy another truck for a dd but the projecto for it will stop after tinted windows and tuned just for comfort/mpgs
