whats up guys, name is david. was a former mustang owner and have had them for the lat 13 years and 2 months ago i sold my 02 turbo gt to get out of cars. Well behold i was offered a deal on a 80 malibu i couldnt pass up so i jumped on it and now part of the chevy crowd. Kinda nice to have a different car to build this time to be honest was getting bored of the same platform.

gonna be some sort of turbo setup but Not sure what motor is gonna end up in it. Gonna keep it more street then strip since i can never really get to the track. Gonna be doing the body work, chassis and rear before i even bother with a motor and trans. I do however have a fresh built 4l80e sitting on a shelf at my job so i may end up using that trans since it will be cheap for me to use.

when you sold your mustang you weren't getting out of cars, you have just entered the world of cars with your Malibu purchase...:)
