81 Malibu project restarting

I like the caps. It would look even better with rings.

No rings for now. It was hard enough to put the caps on and scratch the paint on the inside of wheel.

I put the center caps on tonight and I think I hate the look. I wanted these wheels and caps for as long as I can remember, and I’m not feeling them anymore. View attachment 156717 View attachment 156718

looks super nice with the caps...

I like the caps as well, I'm not usually into that wheel but looks good

I've had the Chevy rallyes on my car years back with the police caps. I later painted the rims body color still using the police/ corporate caps.
I do like the flatter disc brake type rallye caps. I always thought they looked cool.

Snagged a 98 vortec 350 for $120. Sounded good, even though it has like 230k on it. A lot of sludge in it but it’ll be a good candidate for a rebuild. I think I’m going to re ring the other 350 I have and throw a cam in it over the winter and stab it in. I’m sick of driving with the 305, with its flat cam and bad valve seals, and I don’t want to spend the money on a rebuild right now, as I want to try and move along on the body work this winter.

Picked up a few things today. Boxed lowers and a stay down plate bracket. Got the control arms from the guy with the hellcat swapped grand national. Heard about it but didn’t realize he was from NJ.

He said that’s what was on there when he got it. I think the arms were sprayed black since they were red.
