(Might actually build this one as it's my number one dream car) - 67' Shelby GT500 'Eleanor' - Square body Dodge Power Wagon 4door long bed with a diesel.

Now if I had the money, AMC AMX-3. Those would be cool. A friend of ours owns a tool and die shop. The machines in there are fascinating. Also, you own a Bricklin SV-1, correct? If so, you should start a build thread on it.

I do have metric change gears. Running is the issues. I do have a Bridgeport clone mill and a Well saw. Its a tight fit.

Pete M Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 almost forgot about my idea of using a 4-door flatbed tow truck as my wheeler hauler.

Pete M Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 because I prefer reliability and safety when towing, and a full-custom tiny truck is not going to cut it hauling 5000 pounds to Moab and back. 10k if I've got a buddy's rig on the rear dragger. bigger is better.

Yes, bigger is better, what I meant was a custom crew cab Comanche on a chassis like that.
BeatCJ Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 That would probably tow a nice bumper pull camp trailer too. Good call, Pete.
