I have a lot of 1:1 toys.

Here are my current two that we have.

My wife's 1999 SS. It has a 408 stroker, 6 speed, 12 bolt rear, runs bottom 11's and tons of other things!
Image



Here is my 1987 Iroc. It has a TON of things done to it including Supercharged 357 TPI, 9" rear, 6 speed, full cage, chute, 19" Auto Art wheels, etc etc. It has ran a 10.5 in 1/4 and was featured in the May 2013 GM High Tech Performance. (It was the cover car!!!!!!)

Nothing currently worth mentioning in the big toy category. But two former trucks out of all my projects I actually miss.
My 72 Ford F100 SWB I bought off a family friend when I was 17. If this truck could talk, it'd expose some of my stupidity and youth. Great times. I came home on leave before reporting to Fort Stewart, GA to pick this truck from my dad's property and it was stolen. But they left the 69 Ranger parts truck. Idiots.
Image

99 Ford Ranger I bought and was repairing the previous owner's hack job. Sadly lost my dad and this truck was a victim of no budget when paying for his expenses.

Money trap I was working on but believe I'm going to scrap out as I sold the redtop 4g63t I had for it.

Current money traps.

White one is a Slack and the Black/Yellow is a Charger. Getting set up for this years season, so RC might come to a crawl until fall!

Ditto. I remember my neighbor's mom having one and I thought it was the most awesome car ever.

Love the old Ford truck and although not much of an IROC fan I'm digging that one. I love the chin spoiler.
