Hey guys, I am new here. I am on a lot of forums with the username "IntroWheels" as I do sales and marketing for Intro Wheels. I am definitely an enthusiast and builder as well and I needed a good forum of places that like to customize cars, not just restore and rip on anyone who modifies old metal. Anyway, I have 2 project cars at the moment.

One is my 2003 Chevy Silverado, regular-cab short-bed. Long story short, full air-ride with 6-linked rear with watts-link and cantilever setup, 22" front wheels, 24" rear, tubbed, supercharged and nitroused 5.3L V-8, good for 440 rwhp (without the NOS), shaved, custom paint, Stitchcraft interior with everything painted, leather, or suede. Here are some pics:

My other project is my 1969 Chevy Malibu. This car is a work in progress and I hope to have it done within the next 5 months. Right now it has a fully powdercoated chassis, including the frame, suspension, brakes and Currie rear-end. The whole body is shaved and in the process of getting a full paint-job using House of Kolor paint (mostly silvers and greys and graphics). I cant tell anyone about the paint until it's done. Brakes are Baer Brakes with 20" front and 22" rear wheels of course by Intro and Toyo Tires (305/25/22 rear). It will have a full Stitchcraft interior and an LS2 motor, supercharged by Magnacharger with a lot of other bolt-ons. Anyway, here are a few progress pics of it laid out with the wheels and in primer.

Cool, I'd like to see more of the Malibu. Sounds like it will be a nice ride. :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone! I am a member of ls1tech.com . In fact, I am a member of about 20 forums, but not active in a lot of them, just an occasional poster. I will keep you guys updated on the progress of the Malibu, and my truck is already sold, the new owner gets it in a couple of weeks.

Nice looking cars. The buick I posted in the open disscussion has intro smoothies very happy with the service and the end product.

RockNBling 10-16-2006 09:36 AM

Thanks guys. Slownova, your car is badass. In fact, it's one of the reasons I decided on 20/22 for my car instead of the default 18/20 combo. I hope to be posting a lot of pictures of the build up in here, so sorry in advance for hogging everyone's bandwidth on my threads. :unibrow: I was going to build the car for SEMA this year, but I decided I didn't want to just throw it together, so I decided to take my time with it instead and build it right the first time around. It will now debut at the Del Mar Good-Guys show in March of 2007.
