You definately have a big project ahead of you. What a feeling when it's all done and you can say"I did it all myself". Good luck.

 

[v8power]

are you going to back half it,? or what are your plans

 

[gator2206]

looks like a great staring point, and welcome too the boards

 

[punissher_racing]

thats my toss up right now is wheather to back half it or just mini tub it. cuz if i do a full tub and wanna go tear around some corners i dont think 28 inch mickeys will hold up so well sideways. i gotta buddy that works for a welding company that can get 2x3 box tube pretty cheap so ill prolly just move everything in about 3 inches so i can have around a 12 to 14 inch wide tire in the back wrapped on some 18s. It is a big project but the body is pretty straight and all the glass is there and not cracked, the interior is in good shape sept for the dash, so i figured what the hell lol

Personally ... you should leave it looking all "Mad Max" and just run the hell out of it until the frame brakes. :lol:

I bet the dollar per hour of fun would be a lot cheaper. Good luck though!

Welcome!

Looks like a good candidate to back-half to me...
My Malibu wagon is even worse... and I plan on doing it someday if I can stop buying other cars.

I have a friend that used to have a tubbed, big block Malibu, and he drove it everywhere during the summer months. Spool and all. But I sure wouldn't recommend "tearing it up" around any corners... :lol:

oh man leave it as is. its probably the meanest Gbody ive ever seen. it has a madmax look to it. just fix the frame and have fun with it. this is seriously my favorite Gbody. Great job man

wow thanks for the comments! does anybody make a mini tub kit for these cars? i still am going to do the all black look thats just my thing. it is getting a blood red punisher skull on the deck lid though. other then that some black 5 spoke mags and some fresh black paint and then the tire burning and ford eating begin!
