Sell them when I'm done? How could I? It would be like selling a child. Although I'm pretty sure that's illegal. All of the project cars are still part of the family.

You can find them all at SlowCarFast.com. Here's a rundown in chronological order. There are a couple of others that weren't such big projects as well.

Basil, a 1967 Land Rover that was pulled out of a barn, rejuvenated and eventually rebuilt on a new frame. I live near Moab now, so he's seen a few rocks. Unfortunately, this part of the website is pretty rough and needs to be reassembled.

The Seven, a Lotus Seven replica built around a Miata drivetrain. This is the one that took on the Atom. It's also the subject of a book.

The Targa Miata, built to run in a week-long rally in Newfoundland. Built from the ground up on jackstands in my garage, including the Martini paint job. It's got a nice naturally aspirated engine and can take a speed bump at full throttle at 80 mph - I did all the suspension development on this car. I don't always drive these cars sideways, those are just the crowd-pleaser pictures :lol:

As promised (threatened?), here's what the car looks like with some fender flares. These are steel, taken off an early Rabbit. They're just shot with black primer right now and I haven't done any finishing work other than grinding the welds down a bit, but it should give an idea on the future look.
