Well i've been kicking around the idea of building a muscle car after i lift my truck. Not looking for anything fancy, just something that has potential. I've thought about a foxbody stang since they are so common. I could find one for cheap. It dont have to look good. I can paint the car myself after I build it. Maybe drop a motor in it that me and dad could build together. I think it'd be a good father/son project. I kinda want to stay away from newer models that have a lot of electronics and such. Let me know what yall think or have had experience with.
