new project.... looking for suggestions

[stevemead08 752]

I've decided to start looking for my next project. I'm looking for something outside of what you see everyday. Going to be loud as hell but still look cool. I'm thinking old...

Any ideas? Budget around 7500.

Same car?

[stevemead08 752]

No no. I'm looking for a different vehicle.

I've always liked 40's 50's panel trucks.

Were on the same page. I love Danny Hayes car because its different. Need something I can get running and reliable pretty cheap.

Hard to beat an old chevy. I've got a 46' pickup with a 383 and 1.6L whipple.

A 70's swag wagon could be pretty cool, Something like a ford ltd.

IAs he already knows it'll be much cheaper to stay with a gm product.

I just can't see much audio potential in that. Needs to be taller.

Makes sense, I've always thought an old mail truck would be cool to wall off too. They're pretty tough to find though.

What about like a 1940s ambulance???

Ha I actually just looked at one online. Had a funky plexi roof though. I guess to let some light in.

those are awesome. Guess satx and Austin has better Craigslist than Houston. Thanks. Wheels are turning!

the 55 on the the 70s chassie seems closer to being ready, as it will have better things like break power steering and cheaper parts,

but the 59 looks more OEM

Buy an old Hurst. That is very very different.

I like the idea of the panel vans or a hearse.

It would be cool though.

[stevemead08 752]

Even an old coupe. Big back seat and trunk space too. If I'm going to sell off the Camaro it needs to be for a car that's easily capable if 60s on music.

[Jason Witt 65]

What about something like this?

[stevemead08 752]

an old shoebox would be great. Just hard to find in my budget.
