Was that time travel you posted, finish back to start? That TH350 Gear Star looks suspicious...like a 200-4R.

As of right now the car is in the body work stage, Red will be gone and replaced with a darker green colour.

Very nice Malibu!!

Just an idea, you may want to upgrade that steering box with the 4 bolt top version especially if you drive her hard!

Post your used hardware on the forum. The 200-4R may be a useful core....


Sold the 200r4 as a core and donated the 305 to our local high school with all the accessories so the kids can learn on a running engine.
