After today I may be adding another one to the list.  I found a fulltop convertible and a windshield frame (in addition to the halftop and windshield frame I got last week) picking it up March 21st, AND I looked at a 85 Blazer 4x4 that I drove with back passenger floorpan and rocker along with a donor running 87 shell with running gear for $1800....

It sounds like you do have a Blazer project in mind!  ;D

All i have right now is my one truck.  once the engine/trans get sorted out I'll be hunting for a 74 corvette hopefully.
Is the Corvette a project car that you've always wanted, but have never had?  I think that we all have one particular make/model of classic wheels that is THE dream vehicle.  (you know the one, the car you've wanted since you were a kid).  Maybe it started with a Matchbox or Hot Wheels, or it was your uncle's musclecar that you helped him wrench on.

I only have my one truck.  (I have a '57 Porsche 356A Sunroof Coupe that I need to get back on)  I have been jonesin' for another truck, however.  How in the heck did I change personalities from restoring Porsches to Chevy trucks????  I still can't figure it out.

I've been toying with the idea of a Suburban, however.  I had a sweet '90 Suburban that I sold in '95 and the memories are tugging me back.  It was the best road machine I ever had.  Plus, with a 40 gallon tank, you could go on and on forever. 

I probably ought to get back to the Porsche since it needs lots of sheet metal and labor (which is cheap)...........for now.

(thanks for adding the appropriate emoticon, Cap!)

Believe me, I know EXACTLY how you feel.  I've started a family (got a baby girl in the house!) and I've been shopping around for either a Tahoe/Yukon or Suburban for the family hauler.  A large GM SUV which I can customize a bit and that the wife will also be comfortable driving.  But I've also found myself looking at a 1969 GMC pickup recently... it's calling to me.  An old GMC is an itch I have to scratch.    :D

Yeah, it is pretty much set.  The K5 is dependant on the current owner to get the title from the previous owner...  Jamie is even ok with the idea, of course that means the other cars will need to go, but these have more room than a Jeep Patriot or Grand Prix.
