I loved the car the first go around but this is even better. More 'plain-jane' factory looking w/some suspension tweaks & drivetrain mods.

I remember during the build of the car that the rear frame clip was narrowed several inches (2" each side?). Did the rear end stay the same dimensions as factory or is that a shorter custom rear sway bar?

My car is the late model version (79 Malibu) & it even has a similar tan/peanut shell color.

rear end is narrowed and the sway bar was also narrowed to fit.

thanks Jim. Yeah, it's 22000 s.f. of concrete out there, and a neighbor and I poured half of it ourselves. Lot of work, but much nicer than the dirt/gravel we had.

Did this require a retention pond for all the rain water runoff?

Car looks great. Looking forward to seeing it at SEMA but REALLY forward to seeing it on Beale St. (Ribs were great this past weekend there)

Jodi,

frame looks awesome. I want to either buy an aftermarket chassis for my 67 or improve the existing chassis. What are you doing to improve the frame on your 65 to make it more rigid. I am really courious to know. Maybe your experience can save me 20k.... Thanks.

Blessings,

Looks really good. Can't wait to see it with all of the exhaust on it.
