Hey guys. I just thought I would post my 10.5 tire Malibu that I am doing. I am in middle TN right now but will be back in the mix in Monroe, NC before long. I am really liking what I am seeing with the street car stuff. That is what I love. Just thought you guys might like to see some pics of what I am doing and the progress.
This is what I am starting with. Long story but here it is. 1978 Malibu 2x3 tube chassis car that was setup for high speed roundy round racing. The car has (not for long) truck arm rear suspension with jack bolts at all 4 corners. The car will be on Ladder bars with a Chris Alston Fab 9" before long. It has a 10 point cage and the chassis uses the front section from the original malibu. BTW...The car wont be screamin yellow for long. Satin Black all the way.
This is the day I picked it up.

Here is the car up to date. Cut out the factory tubs for aluminum wheel tubs so I can fit 29.5 x 10.5W slick on the car.

With the help of my good buddy Bobby Schulz I will be out in the thick of it soon supporting the Satin Black Mafia! with a Blown BBC off the Brake :)
