Well, at the risk of being dead to Evan, I've decided what my next project is going to be. I will be doing a full track build of my '72 Chevelle. I worked out most of the parts list I need for suspension and brakes and it should be a very fun car. Still debating whether to keep the old school 454 big block I have now, go with a conventional small block or go with an LSx. Right now I'm leaning toward buying a wrecked 4th generation Camaro and pulling the drivetrain out of it.
Anyway, here is how it looks now:
And a couple pictures from having fun in College:
Not sure anyone cares since its not a Mazda, but I'm excited so just wanted to share.

That'll be sweet Bill. While I love seeing nice shape classics in near original condition, I love seeing resto-mods built for the purpose like you're talking. It gives new life to old cars that just didn't perform all that great (except in a straight line).
My car was originally a 307 car with no options and it has almost 150k miles on it and I drove it through many winters. It's not a good restoration candidate. It has way more sentimental value than real world value because it is my first car that I bought a year before I could even get my license. I've had it for 20 years now.
Pfft.....Mazda's suck, Pro-Touring Muscle Cars FTW!!!!
Can't wait to modernize my dad's '68 Firebird when I get it from him...
I'M bummed since I found out Steph and Sophia will be there!! (and I won't be lol)
My Wife's 2002 Chrysler Town and Country Limited got 11.6 mpgs on her last tank and 2 tanks before that she got 12.1 mpgs. Debating on getting rid of the P.O.S., problem is convincing the wife. An I love the F&F movies. Like a giddy school girl when I seen the previews on YouTube today.

Sounds like it might need a tune up.
Bill, you're dead to me now. (JUST KIDDING) That will be cool to watch the build, make a thread for it and try to remember to update it once in a while. 
T'was a fun dinner and always good to see everyone, even if I couldn't hear everyone. What? Lauri, and Jake, hope you guys feel better. Larry, we'll see you guys at the next one.

Our 2004 got 16-18 in the city and 23-25 on the highway. How many miles are on it?!
Maintaining 30-33 mi/gal in the 2 with about 75% city driving so over all not too bad there. Nothing compared to my wife's 40+ mi/gal in the Jetta TDI with about 90% highway but still much better than the Flex, which got 19 mi/gal with 100% highway. 23 mi/gal my ass Ford!
Bill that Chevelle is awesome! I always liked the '70 styling a little better but cool nonetheless. The teenage, GM, musclecar, fanboy in me says keep the BB 454, but a lower, further-back, and lighter LSx engine would probably be the better idea. I'm with Evan, get a build thread going!

Sounds awesome Bill! Can't wait for the thread.
http://www.heidts.com/Scripts/default.asp Can't get any more modern than that. Would love to but it in the Camaro one day but have to figure what changed in '74 so the setup isn't a direct fit.
+1 and to what Phen said
