well so far i just started with mockup. here a pic i just took. for body mods i have tucked bumper rool pan swaped the front end from 81 to 82 and up style with a phantom grill. i also have the power/heated mirrors off a c4 vette, caddy taillights, whole thing will be painted forrest green. right now it's a toss up between some 18/20 (not sure of width on these)intro vista, v-rod 5, or some 17x8 2 piece iforged areo's. global west a-arms with the hotchkis tvs setup and c5 brakes up front. interior will be a basic semigloss black but it's too soon to say what that will be when finished. hope fully i'll have all the body work done by the end of this winter.

Looks good. Don't go too big with the wheels though. That could throw off the look of the car.

is that malibu bagged at all? i've thought about bagging mine but i dont like the kit airride offers. i wonder why they dont have a shockwave setup for g-body's? that 17/18 combo looks real nice just might listen to my buddy and go with 20/18 since the 18 would fill the front wheel well real nice and the 20 in the back would tuck up in there as well. i think when his wheels come in i'll see what it looks like on mine to determine.

the car is bagged with shockwaves up front and bags in the rear. Its not a sport suspension but i do have tubular upper arms, baer tie rod ends, hotckis rear upper and lower control arms ,big sway bars. I tried to get the best of both worlds. its a blast to drive...it dosent "lay out" cause of the exhaust and inner fenders..my friends jack with me about it not being any lower but its not bagged to be "layed out"

Could or do you have any build-up pictures of your dash with
the autometers? Iam trying to decide on what to use, and from
your gauge cluster it looks like i would like to try something like it
any close ups,or shots of the build process would be appreciated.
