Hello all,
I stumbled onto this forum in search of ideas for my first and new project. I just acquired a '66 Malibu convertible with small back 350. Not sure on the full details of it since family has been handling the purchase for me while I am deployed to the middle east. It is red with bench seats, black interior and black top with plastic window. Drum brakes all around and factory air. I know right off the bat I will be replacing with the top since it looks a little loose and faded and would prefer white with glass window. I will also change out the brake all around from drums to large discs. If time allows I also plan on changing from a column automatic to floor shifter. Not sure if I will go bench with floor shifter or switch to buckets with a console. Exterior color is in the air but will definetly wait until winter since within a couple months of returning back to the US I will be getting stationed to the Europe.
I am in the Air Force and have been for 12 years as an air traffic controller. Will post some pics when my family gets around to sending them to me in the next couple of weeks. I am open to any suggestions for improvements along the way.
Michael
