Default Project Liberator

Well, I got home from work Tuesday evening and this is what I saw.


This is my official introduction of Project Liberator.

65 Malibu, My dream car. I posted pics in my "newbie" thread, but I will post again.

Plans include:
Big disk brakes
17 or 18" American Racing Salt flats
Bolt on suspension/handling pieces along with lowering the car
Not definate on paint yet, but current idea is Corvette Spiral Gray
Might try to keep the light aqua interior while adding custom bucket seats uphostered to match.
Eventually it will have a fuel injected engine and 6 speed tranny.

I am working on doing renderings now... They won't be as nice as some of the other renderings I have seen on here, but they will be decent.

And for those of you wondering about the name... My grandfather passed away 5 yrs ago yesterday and I have wanted to build something themed towards his memory. He was a tail-gunner in a B24 Liberator during WWII. Hence the dark silver paint and the flat gray wheels. If I get carried away the interior will have an industrial styled interior some custom gauges.

nice car! Looks like you are on the right track. Post some pics of your renderings when you get them finished.

Tony looks like a very nice start....I dig the theme you are going to try and go with as well...I have a couple different sets of cast centered wheels in mind that would look killer
