    If I ever get rich/crazy enough to make my much fantasized Project Rambler From Hell, I will put a Holman-Moody SOHC 427 backed with the ZF 5-speed from a Pantera where the back seat currently resides. This is, of course, predicated on winning the lottery.


    Perhaps our ambulating entertaining friend would consider this for his Prius?

    All the greatest things were invented in sheds, and all the greatest cars are built in some nondescript shop.

    I like how their website banner has an exploded view of a drum brake superimposed on Le Mons GT40s.

    @discontinuuity wonders if there are any f*cking Jalops in C...: haha, considering the fact that LeMons gets more coverage here than LeMans, I think we understand. It's a funny scenario to think of though.

    Dang indeed! GT40 in the Gulf livery plus the lucky horseshoes! I cannot remember the last time I saw those!


    And that's easily the sweetest 64 Fairlane. Ever.

    What a beautiful shop. That flatbed Ford is only missing a girl, preferably the type who'll slow down to check me out.


    Now, Murilee... if you REALLY missed your Cyclone, you'd post the '69 Fairlane 500 fastback I sent you a while back. You saucy minx. ;)

    @Maxx Cracker: I have a wooden barn with a dirt floor and a Shop Smith, and about 15 cars of various types and conditions around my yard.


    So, not so much a "shop" as an unhealthy obsession and way too little infrastructure to support it.
