Well after a few years of snooping thru this forum, I feel as if i need to start my own tail wagon thread... i guess a place to show what I’ve been doing in my spare time when I can focus on my ride.
Some of you know what I’ve been doin already, but for those tuning in for the first time, heres a quick recap...
Bought a perfectly running 1981 malibu wagon in very clean shape, and from there have been slooowly making my wagon ideas come to life.
- replaced tired 305 with a GM crate 370hp 350 to increase smile on acceleration
- installed cowl hood to show i still have a hint of “cool factor”
- tinted windows to keep that hint of “cool factor”
- replaced broken factory stereo with new one so i have something to listen to besides the wife
Altho theres a list of things to do and want, this is where this thread begins...
This was taken shortly after buying car and the cowl hood installed
