Hey guys I have been doing a bit of thinking lately about other cars to build outside my normal X-series falcons that I like and something with more avail and cheap parts and have been looking at things such as a Vk brock rep .
I would love to hear about other cars you guys would concider for a build and why .I would love to also hear about cars that you think are underated as a project car as most cars that are built up are quite common cars to be built |

An old Studebaker or something. There was one in street machine a few years back, had a 10L V8 in it.
I'd do one of those just to be different, and it'd definatly stand out! but if I could do up any ford, I'd do up an old Ford Crown Victoria. |

I would love a HK Premier Wagon. Something about bucket seats and steering wheels bigger than the wheels on the car that appeals to me.

Only other car would be an American Hemi (cuda or simular) or a P76. Thats about it really! To many I want from the Ford shed though before they happen. Chev or Holden? Never.

I think I'd go a rotor.I guy at work has an genuine rx3,looks stock as a rock,white,13's with hubbys the lot.It's got some selectmaz engine in it and goes off it's head,sounds awsome too.
I will build one before I die.

I have always had a soft spot for the r32 skyline but we had a 4 dr r32 in our shop last week and that looked so much better than the 2 dr which is wierd as 2drs appeal more to me .

A 68/69 Dodge charger with a 440, or a 70/71 Dodge challenger with a 440. Just about any old muscle car is cool, but the big block mopars have real street cred.
