Well as many of you are aware I have the '80 Cutlass that I'm starting to work on and the original plan was to build it up as inexpensively as possible and as simply as possible. Part of the reason for this is I'm a poor college student so funds are tight.
Well couple months ago my uncle called me and said there is an art collector that want to buy a sculpture I own (and have for more that 20 years). It is a one of a kind piece my uncle did back in the '80s and the guy is offering around $20,000. We originally paid $600 for it, I still have the paperwork. I am strongly considering selling it even though I love the piece (I own many other pieces of my uncles art). Not only would this give me money for helping with school but a healthy chunk for my car budget for parts and tools.
This got me thinking of building the Cutty up as a Pro Touring style car instead. Say an LS1 instead of a carbed 350, 6 speed trans instead of a muncie 4spd, big brakes, larger alloy wheels instead of 15 inch steelies, and put more into the suspension. Then also update the interior and the like a bit more and not have it as barren as I was thinking.
OR I could build the Cutlass up as planned and find myself another old Camaro as I've been missing my old '78 for awhile now and build that as a pro touring.
