Default Introduction: Project Sikness - '64 Malibu Twin Turbo, version x



You may know that 2 weeks ago, I purchased this beautiful Malibu. I'm at a stage in life that I can't build one from scratch (young kids, etc. etc) I paid more $$$ than I ever wanted to, telling myself that this would be perfect as-is, just get it, wax it, drive it, show it, etc. etc.

Yeah,Right! I can't sleep at night, can't function well @ work, don't listen to my wife (OK, so thats not new). Then I see Jody's Mali2ude, Ring Bros. Camaro, etc. etc. You guys are bad influences, VERY bad influences

Hence comes my official introduction to my "project": SIKNESS

Sikness: because it is an illness
Version x: because it will be continual and probably have no end point

"Hi, I'm Jay, and I'm an addict"


For me, this works though! I can work on the car, but still enjoy it, drive it, show it. Will I tear it down, change paint, and do similar to aforementioned projects? Not even close. I shouldn't even mention my car in the same breath as theirs. But over time some things will change, and it will curb the symptoms of my illness.

Work in progress:
1. Detail, detail, detail
2. Fix necessary items (ie. new window motor, fan shroud clip, etc. etc.)
3. Install FAST system before Scottsdale Goodguys
4. Re-paint dash

Aspirations:
1. Bigger Turbos
2. More HP, More HP, More HP
3. Wheels (although, I'm really turning away from wanting wheels, as these just fit the car so perfectly!)
4. ???????
