What a great car to start with! Super clean for the price. Should make for a great project.

Driver showed up last night while I was at work so my pops had to unload her. Washed her up this morning and I will sy this car is just as clean as I thought it was

you did good for $4500! That looks like a really clean car. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I have a soft spot for those cars

thanks!

Drove her to the shop today and picked up the rear tires since the frame will be getting notched tomorrow. front wheels and tires along with 2" drop spindle should all be here tomorrow so if all goes well i can have some pics with the wheels on it.

the hooker headers will be here tomorrow as well, I'm curious to see the quality of them!

great looking car ! that should be a nice sleeper

That thing is super clean!

Wow, super clean looking car! I'd say you scored on it! I'll be watching this build for sure!

Got the front wheels on, still need to do something with the rear, likely paint them black for now. Assembling shortblock next week and hopefully I can have this thing running by the end of the month. TX2K is the goal!

Great start! You are going to be busy busy busy!!!! Ambitious goal but good luck!

Super nice G! I like that 69 too!

sweet car going to be a nice build

updates? man you have it all!!

Fixed it for you.


JFWY OP

Lol you know me too well!! Bought the coupe so plans changed. Bit. Although the Malibu now has a 383 with weiand blower for the street.

That sounds cool. How quick is it with the weiand on a 383. For some reason I've always wanted to do a combo like that.

Its nothing crazy, pro comp heads and a little can. Mainly just to cruise around in. No gear or converter either.
