Hey All,
I have a few different projects in the mix. The one that I hope will closely follow the term pro-touring is a 1976 Malibu Classic.
I just bought it and probably paid too much for it but here we are.
It looks like a mint beauty from about 15ft. Up close it isn't the best, but honestly for the way we use cars around here that is probably perfect.
The drivetrain is already getting stolen from a different project (1963 Chevy II), 6.0 LS3 with a Magnuson 2300 Supercharger (CNC'd heads, forged pistons and crank...etc).
I already have a Holley TermX with the 7inch screen and a stout 4L60, It probably won't be crazy fast but this setup in my Silverado was a insta-torque monster on a 4WD launch. Thinking a Quick Performance 9" for the rear. and all Detroit Speed suspension.
We will probably not do anything with the body. Wheels are yet to be determined but I'm debating on something 1980's appropriate, convo pros maybe?
This is a nicer example of my first car, and after these mods I plan on abusing it just like the first one.
Anxious to see what others are working on.
Thanks for reading!
