MALIficent - a '69 Malibu build

[Bryan O]

Total frame-off Pro-touring build. Here's the plan as it stands now. However, it's not set in stone just yet. Particularly the choice of motor. I may go with GMPP LT4 and engine management system if there are no fitment issues between it and the REVO chassis.

Roadster Shop REVO chassis
LS7: 600+HP (haven't yet decided on builder if I go this route; MAST maybe)
T-56 trans
Ford 9": 31 spline axles, 57" track width, Pro iron case w/Tru-Trac posi
McLeod RST twin disc
C&R Racing radiator w/oil cooler
CCW Corsair C12 wheels: 18/19" diameter; 9.5" front & 12" rear; black
Pilot SS tires 285/35 & 345/30
Baer Pro+ 14" 6-piston front & rear brakes
Penske double adjustable coilovers (front & rear)
Rick's fuel tank
Ididit column
American Autowire Classic Update wiring system
Autometer gauges
Stock-like interior

Look forward to this build, used to have a 69 Malibu. I'm envious of your lift, what is your ceiling height and lift model #? I'm looking at getting a lift, Mohawk is my 1st choice.

Mohawk A7 and the ceiling height is 9' 6". They're relatively expensive but worth the extra $$ imo. I can't stand fully upright under the car so I roll around on that chair you see in the pic. Beats having to use a creeper.

Tear down complete. Next it's off to media blasting.

Obviously, the package tray is toast and the passenger side rear floor pan needs replacing. Probably the driver side rear floor pan, too.


Nice paint job.

Hi Bryan, This looks like another nice one to watch. Subscribed.

Thanks Wayne. Difference between this build and my '69 Camaro build on the other site is that I'm doing all the work.

Here's a rendering my son Trevor created. It's proving to be a very nice tool to use to pick out color schemes. PM me if you'd like Trevor to crete a rendering for you and I'll get you in touch with him. He's a computer graphics/visual effects student at Arizona State University's Herberger Institute.

Finally media blasted and in primer.
