Names Grant,

Figured it was about time to come out of the bushes on here haha. Ive been on here a while trying to learn as much as I can while doing my Ls swap in my 1979 Malibu. The amount of knowledge on here is insane. Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
Here's my car, 79 Malibu I bought from the second owner in Greer, Sc. Drove 2 hours one way to go pick it up in April of 2015.
Me and my old man holding up a poster the owner had of it when he used to take it to the “Run in the sun” in Myrtle Beach. Him and his old man had worked on it a lot over the years and his dad had just recently passed away so selling it was pretty hard for him and he was actually in tears when we were leaving.

Here it is before I took it off the road to start the Ls swap. I haven’t drove it since Fall of 2017

Nice, I like everything about it and I am not even a Malibu guy.
Should be really sweet when you get the LS in there.

Thanks a lot! I found out very quick that Ls swaps aren’t as cheap or as easy as everyone says. Lol This is also my first hot rod I’ve rebuilt and it’s been frustrating at times doing things for the first time and having to redo, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Life has gotten in the way a good bit as far as how much time I could spend but that’s life.

Nice. Just remember your days with your Dad. I am sure he is proud for you to be his son.
