Then I thought why don’t you pull out some of the stuff you have squirreled away for years just to see? You know remind yourself what you have, maybe you can transfer some of it over to have some fun. So I did.

Then I said screw it, my will power is too weak when it comes to HP. Some more stuff I had laying around, let’s just build it and have some fun. Some teaser pics.

Stayin classy with that dash mat and suede wheel. Ready to swing some tight ones. AM radio still works, talk radio all day with my 1 speaker on the dash.
Yes, the mini tach says 5k, only takes about 15 seconds to hit it in 1st with those 2.53’s or whatever gear is in that stock rear.

What size tire you running with what wheel offset? Nice color I like all Malibu’s regardless. G Body mafia unite.

Thanks, 17x9 in the rear 4.5 offset, 17x8s in the front. 245s upfront with 275s in the rear. I had fit a 295 in there which does fill up the fender really well but thats after I notched the frame, and it still scrubbed a bit with the UMI 2" lowering springs.

Small update, got the interior redone. Seats redone, headliner, door panels, speaker panel, rear 1/4 panels. Drove it down there like a boss for install

lol...with all the MOPAR & FiSTing going on...I was hoping this thing hadn't gotten left behind!

Nice update! When I was younger, interior was last on the list...now that I'm older, some level of interior comfort is not just on the list, its expected!

Portable seating FTW!! How far did you travel in your collapsible captain chair?

I sure haven’t! I have a pile of parts for that thing. Let’s just say I drove it far enough that I wasn’t comfortable. The chair was moving all over the place at every stop and turn and I just kept repeating some Ricky Bobby lines.

Maybe I'm not up on the new stuff but it looks like a Gen 1 block and LS heads.

Thanks for the update. She's come a LONG way since you first got her. I like the interior and now looking forward to pics with the engine installed....AND hopefully a video of your first drive. She's just about ready to rumble!
