Notice that the article incorrectly states that it's a Monte Carlo SS nose. It's a Choo Choo Customs El Camino nose.
The Monte SS nose does not fit on a Malibu.

It would probably look better lowered, just too much distance between the nose and the ground IMO.
And maybe black out the grill and headlight area to give it some contrast

Meh. I like the GTO Judge concept wagons better.

Life is so easy in rust-free and mostly emissions-free Arizona...

Nicely executed. It would be interested to see what it sells for.

I kinda like it. However, i would black out the window frames and pillars....and the grille, as 565bb had suggested. The wagons that I've seen in the past with the Choo-Choo nose on it, I didn't much care for.
This one looks to be well done and looks factory stock.

The more I look at it the more I think it might be a Monte SS nose that has been cut to match the Malibu fenders. Just doesn't look right at the headlight area. It also has an angle to it that shouldn't be there on the bottom front of the wheel.
