Ordered the pistons should be here in a few weeks.
Also once I get the pistons I'll be sending the crank off for a 24x billet wheel and to get it cut for dry sump.

Lol, you might want to send it out to have it checked, they dont have a great track record. There is a thread on here somewhere about how much trouble Precision has been having with quality.

Plans Change...

I now also have a 1979 Malibu.
Could NOT pass this deal up.
All the body work has been done. Frame already notched and boxed. Entire frame painted. Underside of body painted. Also has a 10 point already welded in. Also came with some extras installed I planned on doing with my old one.

Some parts will be swapped from the purple one to white one and purple one will get sold.

I am super excited for the new one. Working on selling the old roller off to free some money up and back to getting rolling on parts.

The white car is VERY clean inside and out.
