Anyone want some build content for other makes besides Pontiac?
« on: October 28, 2023, 08:06:57 PM »
Hey guys,

Since seeing another post about the forum being "not-so-busy", anyone interested in seeing other builds besides Pontiac?

I am shop manager at a restoration shop called Mark's Cars in Wauconda, IL.  We currently have some interesting builds going on if anyone is interested checking them out.  These are some current projects I'm working on. 

-1968 Super Bee getting a full restoration with 705hp Hellcat engine installed.
-1968 Dodge Coronet 440 getting a 2018 392 6.4L 485hp Hemi swap.
-1971 Plymouth Duster getting full restoration, 6.4L 485hp swap and 5spd manual install
-1967 Dodge Dart getting a 383 big block with EFI.
-1990 Mustang getting full restoration
-1992 Mustang set up for drag strip duty.  Healthy 5.0, spool, 3.73, manual steering, etc.  Not over the top but it has a lot of goodies.
-1990's Nissan 240SX getting a custom swapped Hemi engine.
-Potentially have a 1970 Dodge Coronet 440 coming in soon for a 705hp Hellcat.
-Long term build on my 2000 Chevy K2500 crew cab short bed.  This is a rare truck that I plan on integrating Trans Am related them into it in a tasteful manner.
-Long term build on my 1993 Ford Mustang notchback.  Short term plan is getting a full 2003 Cobra IRS swap, 2003 Cobra steering, 1994-1997 Cobra wheels, 5 lug swap, etc.
-After all my other personal builds, I then plan on circling back to the Trans Am.  Long way away. 
 

Let me know,
Jon

As a former owner of a 67 Coronet RT, 69 Super Bee and a 70 Road Runner I would love to hear the stories and see some pictures. One nice thing about TAC is the openness to all kind of vehicles and manufacturers. Honestly I am interested in almost anything with an engine in it. Any kind of build activity on TAC is good.

Heck ya! If you look at my current build threads I'm working on a 1949 for f1 amd collecting parts for my 1969 Dodge charger build
 Which is actually a 69 roadrunner body that I'm converting to a 69bcharger and body swapping it to a 2012+ charger. So... I love all projects!
79 Trans am low buck LS swapped
79 Formula 301 (Work in progress)
67 RS Camaro (waiting it's turn)
69 Dodge charger on late model charger chassis
49 Ford F1 on a 2003 Chevy ZR2 Chassis (current project)
Names, Luke. If I hear anyone telling me they're my father....

I agree completely. Although I am not a mopar fan, I would put one in my garage if the situation was right. I love seeing anything old car and restorations/work especially. I am 'that guy' too often but you may want to get permission from the shop and the owners before you post anything though. Since you are shop manager in the future you could include in the fine print something to the effect of 'the shop reserves the right to post pics anonomously on social media for advertising purposes' etc. or the owner can sign off and opt out.
