Just curious what everyone has going on outside of the derby world. I’m always wrenching on something,I just finished putting a 350 in my 91 Chevy. I’ve also got a Mazda protege5 I’ve been trying to get running. Gonna start on my newest idea over the winter,I’ll be taking my 87 cavalier wagon and putting it on a 91 Chevy 1500 frame,straight axle it,I’ve got an old 427 I wanna build for it as well. Gonna go for a mad max themed gasser or just go full mad max style and make it 4wd lol. Anyone else into off the wall builds or have any?

That sounds bad ass. I’m building a 95 Geo tracker 2wd with an F body sub an rearend and an LY6 LS engine. Front suspension is done . I used F body lower control arms 98-02 s10 2wd spindles , corvette uppers an of course air bags. Should have drivetrain mocked up an rear suspension done this week if all goes well.

There's about 23-25 cars out back for future builds. The current project is a 2001 Polaris Tailblazer 250 that has been in storage it's entire life. The original owner only put 2 tanks of gas through it.

Was white with a red seat and purple and yellow stickers lol it was ugly as hell but it was only a 2 owner quad,3 after my step dad gave it to me. My mom wanted me to get rid of it because “it was too fast” so I traded my uncle for his 87 230 Suzuki quad sport and rode wheelies in the yard to piss her off lmao

I'll have to read the picture posting thread, but it's a slick car, with sentimental value.
