Project Malibu
About this Current Vehicle:
I purchased this vehicle for $800 back in the summer of '05. It was all original with every stock piece and no modifications. All the wheel wells were rusted out and many dents. This car is a total project restoration that I am making progress on. I did the whole engine build from the ground up in my garage - this is my 3rd complete engine build and i still learn something new everytime i do it.

Have you done any work on it this winter, I've been to busy working
I had a 70 a while back, one of the best cars I ever had. I love the 65 style, if I had it to do again, I would have done one of those.
Excellent work!!!!!
