New guy in St, Louis

[brooksstls]

Hello everyone. New guy from StL here. I'm currently tinkering on my 78 Malibu that I put a 455 Olds in, that I built a few months ago. I had a small block in it with a TH350, 3500 stall, comp Xtreme Energy cam, Performer RPM, Holley carb, etc.........but someone decided to steal my car and they stripped my entire drivetrain. I got the car back, which was good, because I strightened the body myself and painted it blue pearl, so it has some value to me since I did so much work to it. I used to be a bodyman, and I was a painter for about 8 years. I got tired of doing it full time, so now I mostly just do restoration and custom type work on the side. Well, if anyone has any old stock type parts from their cars they would want to sell cheap let me know. I'm always looking for parts for my Malibu since they messed it up a lot. Thanks everyone, Tom
