Looks like a fun project :)

I am going to have a very very hard time selling any of them.

I absolutely love these cars.

Oh, I always wondered how that worked. I am broke.

And I still don't have everything I want. I suck.

Everything I own is for sale. Come take a look at what I have and we can make a deal.

I am working on all three although and have most if not all the parts for all three of them.

The engine cradle and suspension is going in the black one this week so it will be driveable.

firehawk · July 24th, 2012, 08:38 PM

I have made a little progress but I have had a couple projects going on at the same time and the heat wave we had made me want to stay inside in the AC.

I drove the G8 today after installing the radiator and condenser and filling them up. It is ready to go into the garage as soon as the Bronco is trouble free, the trans is having issues, only have forward gear and in reverse and neutral too and the motor won't rev like it did before I filled the trans.

The GXP is getting a new cam.

Do you have the cardboard removed from the swamp cooler? They blow allot more air with atleast one of the sections removed.

No, I usually leave them in but I will try that, thanks. It does seem to blow bigger water droplets when I have one out though, when filling it with a hose.

We never use water in ours. They don't seem to help with water when you need them the most......

Cold water with ice is best, have been thinking of a way to add a freezer to it to cycle the water through to get it as cold as possible and keep it cold because the ice melts fast.

Are these concept cars or something if there from all the way back in 2004?

Its great if you have the room, I only use it in the driveway as it does not fit in the garage with a vehicle and all the stuff I gave in there. But I am in the process of putting a paintbooth exhaust fan in the attic and putting filters in the ceiling for paint work, that should move some air.

firehawk · July 31st, 2012, 10:20 PM

This has been making a little progress, I replaced the passenger airbag and dash panel and put the rear door on and the radiator is in. Enough that I can drive it around the yard.

I also bought a 2009 G8 GXP with about 25,000 miles that I have ordered parts for. I might need to get that one done as I have interest in it already.

And I am going to bid on a 2009 G8 GT with about 10,000 miles with a good title.

So if anyone wants a G8 for a good price let me know. I want to move them before winter.

A customer of mine just bought a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6

It is a supercharged 6 cylinder, rear tires are 295/30/19 (BIG)

Has front end damage and damage down the drivers side.

He is thinking of parting it out if anyone wants a unique powerplant.

These are pretty rare cars so he will sell it whole for about $5000

Its worth about $15,000 and has a good title.

cannaert · July 31st, 2012, 11:47 PM

firehawk · August 5th, 2012, 06:53 AM

2011 Malibu LTZ V6 with 17,000 miles, probably list it for $17,500
