What This Page Is
This page is a running list of cars and ideas that could become future projects. Some are realistic short-term builds, others are longer-term ideas depending on budget, space, and time.
Not every idea will happen — but documenting them helps decide what’s actually worth doing.

Notes & Ideas
Some cars make sense on paper but don’t work out in reality. This page helps filter out bad ideas before money is spent.
If a car moves from this list into an active project, it will get its own dedicated page.
