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.

Thanks and I will take everyone's opinions, good or bad.

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

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.

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.

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.
