Chevrolet Nova 1988So far, here on AutoJab, we’ve just been featuring the latest releases and the swankiest cars not much of the kind that you find on a typical garage - not necessarily brand new but does the job - get to work, ferry the kids, get some groceries, the good ol’ family car. However, the thing is, gearheads would like to have a bit more than just that. While we do sit behind the wheel everyday, there’s just a part of us wishing that we command something more.

Well, quite honestly, most people would probably love to open their doors and see Xzibit on their doorstep ready to pimp your ride. It’s probably a once in a lifetime chance to have your rusty bucket of bolts be tricked out a hundred (or even two hundred) times its value. But for the rest of us common folk who don’t have fancy supercars in their garages nor have the resources to keep their wheels in tip top shape.


I’ve always admired people who work on project cars. Project cars demand time and money. You can start out with a measly $200 purchase on a rusty old Chevy Nova and spend thousands putting a lot of horses under the hood and more electronics than the space station inside the cabin not to mention the immense body work to get it back to form.

Now I’m thinking to start a little something that I’ve been meaning to do for some time now - a project car. Now I probably won’t be doing something as hefty as a full restoration of a blacktop classic. Probably getting a decent enough sedan to start with and tune it up a bit. Nothing too ambitious. No excessive pimperage. ‘Cause pimpin’ ain’t easy. But with any project, it should start with a good set of plans. I haven’t even decided on what car to make a project car. Stay tuned for more details on the first AutoJab project.
