Sweet mally....what color u planning on painting it??

Oh PM ME SENT TOO 🙂

Thanks guys. I don't know what color I will paint it. I'm leaning twoard a burnt orange or dark red, but I'm still undecided. For now it will just get the quarter painted white and drove until spring. Then it will get the fresh motor and trans, and probably a fresh coat of paint. I want to find a cowl hood do a few little body mods before it gets a full paint job. The intieror really needs some work. Its got the old wore out bench seat, no carpet, and still has the factory radio.


Thanks 80ELCAMINOFLAKE for the sweet deal on the parts

My free set of cragers was pretty rusty and the chrome was gone on the centers, so they got a little paint. Let me know what you think. Should I have gone black instead?

I think that color looks great on those wheels!
That shade will look awesome on that white car.

I also think the gray centers will be much better than black centers when teamed up with the new colors you are considering.

Thanks. I don't think I will keep them for to long though. They are 14x7 and 14x8 and tires are scarce for the 14in rims. I eventuly want to get a set of 15in draglites or something like that.

Thanks, do you have pics of yours on here? I would like to see the 16in irocs on one.

On another note, I spent all day yesterday looking for a salvage yard with a malibu. There are about ten salvage yards local and I didn't find one till number seven. Lol I did score what I needed cheap though. Got the license plat bracket and the plastic that goes around it for 20 bucks. It was 50 and up on ebay.
