>>>   to sell cheap?  :-)  Galaxies?  Mid-60s T-birds?  Any ideas?

	Hmmmm.... all pretty heavy cars.... If you like "different"
how about an early to mid 60s Falcon. Better yet a Falcon/Ranchero if
you could find one.

    There's always the Dave Mellor approach. He (or was it a friend of
    his?) built a "stealth wagon" using lots of go-fast Mustang parts
    tucked under a rather sedate looking Granada or Fairmont wagon body.
    Talk about a sleeper! :-)

    yea yea Falcons ,, and Torinos see very few of them around...
    or take a Camaro or other chevy and Ford motor it :-)...
    and what ever happened to Brian ? Seems one day he was gone
    no goodbye notes or nothing.

    Skip could confirm, but I think Brian got TFSO'd.
    
    	

    If you can stand the electrical problems, you might consider a British
    sports car...Sunbeam comes to mind...

   Thanks for all the replies so far.  I really like the Torino idea!  Those
   are front WD, correct?  (Poor man's Eldorado.)  That could work wonders for
   me out here in Colorado.  We're still getting snow, here in June...  I also
   like the Falcon idea - haven't seen one in a while.  I'll have to check out
   the local want-rags.  The only problem I can see there is that they're so
   old/rare that the only ones you *can* find are already built up (and hence,
   expensive).  We'll see.

   As for Brian, yes, he was TFSO'd, though he pretty much wanted it.  I've 
   lost touch with him, unfortunately.  He and I were pretty good friends, 
   doing both motorcycle events and local parties whenever possible.  He even
   showed up for my (surprise! - thanks wife...) 30th b-day party - 5 years 
   ago...  I was in Manchester, NH. at the time.  His (my) truck is still
   running strong, it's just that I need either a recreational vehicle or a
   muscle car, not both rolled into one.  (It's tough trying to haul a bike
   trailer and a camper at 10K' altitude with a auto tranny with a shift kit..)

   Re:  Tom B. - Don't I know you?  Your name is awful familiar.  I was in
   MKO several years ago, on RSTS, WPS, and a few other things.

   P.S.  Hi, Skip!

    Harry,
    
     Speaking of people building stealth vehicles. Tom Fisher just picked
    up an '81 Malibu wagon with a factory 3 speed. He's in the process of
    having a 400 smallblock built for it and is going to swap in a 4speed
    in place of the 3. He's already upgraded the suspension with no
    springs, sway bars, shorter end links, etc. It'll be running 15x8 Rally 
    wheels with early disc brake ('67 Camaro style) center caps, trim ring
    and Yokahama 378 tires.

Nope, RWD.  You couldn't put that engine in a front wheel drive, anyways.

You want a "recreational" vehicle?  Build a street rod.  Drop a bone stock 
302 into the ghost and make it a work truck then use the 302 in a fat fendered 
street rod that you can go out and enjoy.  Dana can get you started.  He's 
already got some experience with a fat fendered Chrysler stocker.

Ah, yes, I seem to remember tripping over you once or twice  :-)  :-)  :-)  

Gee,

	Here's a 1960 Falcon Ranchero...! Although, it looks like Jason
is no longer at Digital....

Rick

	Wasn't TMW a Falcon fan also?

    I currently own a :
    
    			60 Falcon Ranchero(needs lotsa work)
    
    			67 Nova(In the process of being made fast.)
    
    			76 Dart swinger.(slooooooow bu looks nice)
    
	Owned a couple of fast VW's  (Yes it is possible!)  
    
    			Just finally got rid of "The Bug" that was ailing
    			me and found water cooling/heating.  I really 
    			enjoy the heating aspect.  I just found out that
    			it is not normal to scrape ice off of the inside 
    			of the windsheild.7
    

    Hi Sam...yup I was a Mgr in the RSTS group...many moons ago!  That was
    in the early '80's.  I just moved back into MKO about 4 poles away from
    my RSTS office.
    
    I also did some work out your way on the removable disks program a few
    years back...
    
    ...well enough of that...let's figure out what you should build!!!

   re:  Skip - Gee, thanks a lot.  :-)  I didn't mean *those* parties...  :-)
   "Ghost", eh?  Melissa named it "Glinda, the Good Truck" when we bought it.
   Okay everybody, break out your "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" books and follow
   along...  :-)  Seriously though, thanks for the suggestion, and I'll look
   into it.  I'm not looking at doing a multi-thousand dollar project, though.

   re:  Tom - I thought that the name sounded familiar.  I'm having a hard time
   placing your face, though.  In any case, hello from me and Melissa (ne:
   Pettepit).

   -- Sam

    I be thinking of a falcon sprint...  ZIIIINGGG!
