Mali2ude final build for Power Tour 08

[Boulder69]

Jody,

Car looks great. Just last night I dug out the old PHRs with the Malitude builds just to remember what it was like before. You changed the few things I didn't really like about the first version, like color, wheels, and spindles.

Speakin' of, could we get some pics of the front wheels with the Vintage Wheel Works, AFX spindles, and Touring Classics brakes? I have the spindles and brakes but really want to make sure the V40s will fit. Maybe an angle that shows the caliper clearance to the backside of the spokes? If you happen to know the wheel specs I would be interested in that as well even though I know what I need for my 1st gen. I think.

Things seem to be moving along well. Keep up the great work.

Great job! This is the best looking Malibu I have ever seen! R u taking the car to the Good Guys show in the end of May?

ok, moved the remote filter. Had to build a brace out of 3/16" strap to bolt to the edge of the inner fender to stiffen it up; mounted the filter on that brace and the lower fender brace, completely protected by the bumper when I get it installed.

well, so much for my new oil filter location. Forgot about the bumper brace, runs right through where the filter is mounted. Back to looking again............

theres about 3/8" clearance between the outside of the calipers and the wheel. About 1/8" between the front upper edge of the calipers and the face of the wheel. I think these are 4.75" b.s., but not positive.

It looks incredible, Jody!! I really wish I lived closer. Not just so I could look at it, but so I could help you out as well. I may just have to make a special trip out there after power tour to check it out..... If you haven't sold it before that.
