    65’ Malibu SS/ Backroad thrasher.

    Slight update: I put tires on the car and managed to roll it onto the lift. I’ve stared at it for awhile now and have decided to pull the 388sbc out of my C10 and mate it up to a bench repaired TH350 I found, it was full of bees. I did some tricks on it to make it fully manually and shift a...

    Apologies Doctor, Meant “coil spring” and “control arm”. Didn’t mean to upset you. I mean it’s bent up back here. I’m actually looking at it as we speak on the shop lift. It’s straight enough to go down the road in my opinion.

    I won’t lie, if you live near Texas Ave. I know we’ve waved at each other. I have SCSB Z71 same color as your truck, either we waved at each other or I rolled down the window and hollered at you! On Friday nights I’m gonna start hanging out with the C10/OBS guys at Sonic on 1st… I’ll see you...
