painting the wheel wells black is actually on my long list of things to do. As for the drivetrain that is the weakpoint of the car. So far from the new turbo 350 everything behind it is stock, so that is also on my list of things but that gets expensive to replace. I think i want to get one of the 442 rears with posi only because it is a direct swap if i am correct. So yeah alot of plans for the car it is far from done, but it is also a driver and gets driven. Thanks for the comments guys!

WoW 78Mali, I have never seen pictures of your car and i must say. You have one really nice looking Malibu!!!!
78Mali ... I'm sure you have a list on here somewhere, but mind giving us a quick rundown of the mods (suspenision, engine, tires, paint color, etc).
Suspension: Stock, just new shocks is all
Motor: Brand new 350 Crate rated at 260hp, topped with an edelbrock performer intake and 650 carb
Exhaust: Flowtech Headers to 2 3/4" Pipe back to Flowmaster 40's. No X or H or cats. Just straight pipes
Trans: New turbo 350
Rear: Stock
Tires and Wheels: they are billet specialties Vintechs. I can't remember what the tire sizes are currently and i am 3 hrs away from the car but next time i am back in september i will take a look for you.
Paint: Jasper Pearl
Other: Goodmark 2in Cowl Hood, Grant Steering Wheel. New carpet. eh nothing to fancy inside.
Car is honestly pretty basic but it is very clean. I like the simple look i don't like alot of things going on. So that is about the best i can do for you right now. I am going to a show toward the end of September i can look at the tires then for you and anything else you guys want to know
