Hey guys, just thought I'd stop and do an intro.. I'm an industrial maintenance guy by trade. Picked up a couple montes recently and came across this place.
First one was a t top 85 that the only thing worth saving was the roof. The next was a fairly solid 84 hard top roller. I dumped a 400 in it and it does some pretty nasty burnouts now.. ☺
Winter plans are to swap the t top roof over to the 84 and do the paint/body.

Well...that's positive progress. The gearing is going wake the car up...as you'll find out.

Here's some pics. Went with malibu wagon progressive rate springs when i swapped the rear along withnew shocks. Need some new control arms though. The uppers are pretty weak/flimsy.

Good lookin' ride, man.
Looks likes a nice clean body.
It should be pretty cool when you do the T-top conversion... good winter project.
