I'd like to see "Project Frankenstein"....A cheap,nasty bastard that's fast and unique....

So many magazines feature cars that people have over $100,000 invested in. A lot of them are great looking, and great performers. But I'd like to see something that someone built for $10,000 including the purchase price of the car. Something that someone built with literally stuff they had laying around or bought from or were given by a friend.  And something not mainstream-maybe a beater '78 Camaro with a 425 Olds engine in it? Or an '81 Gran Prix with a 472 Cadillac V8 in it.  A '76 Nova with a 430 Buick in it, a 75 Chevy 2WD pickup with a 400 Pontiac in it, an AMC Hornet with a 383 Mopar in it, Stuff like that. Or later stuff people made from wrecks or junkyard parts- an '85 Firebird with the engine and trans out of a GMC Cyclone / Typhoon-that Turbo V6 would rock in a light F-body. How about the Supercharged 3.8 V6 from a Riviera of Bonneville SSEI in a Buick Reatta body? Or in the rear of a Pontiac Fiero? ( I've actually seen that done-an absolute rocket! ) Just a thought. Anyone else have any ideas along these lines? Mastermind
