I wasn't really happy with the look of the car, never really like the drag race look. So I changed the springs and ordered new wheels. Here's the old look

One last picture.
Also on another note, my new electric fan quit this mourning. The blades started to spin on the shaft and hit the radiator. So I put on the clutch fan again. I guess I'll call summit and see what they say.79 malibu that hopefully makes it for 3000 miles

Now the car is much more street friendly. Before I was also scared of fast corners or big potholes. The only reason I had them was I traded a tunnel ram with carbs for them. Before the the car came with rusty 14" cragar ss wheels (yuck).79 malibu that hopefully makes it for 3000 miles

I thought about that, but I'm just going to try to get the body ready for paint in the next year. I'll proably go back to something close to the original color, maybe a bit more coppery. That way I don't have to totally rip it apart for paint. Also the fiberglass hood stinks, I'm thinking about using the orginal hood and grafting on a steel cowl scoop.79 malibu that hopefully makes it for 3000 miles

Looks good. How are they finished....powdercoat? solid cast? I'm curious how prone they will be to road rash. More I look at 'em the better I like 'em.Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'

What ever works. Makes the 'bu look like a G machine.
Myself, I grew up in the 80's, so I have a thing for the Weld look, or a good set of Centerline Autodrags.
Car will probably ride and drive a lot nicer.
Myself, I am a complete fan of basic steelies and some dog dish caps.
That copper color fits though. Simple, clean.Andrew
