I have one chilling in my parents garage (free storage) till I get off my lazy ass and do a frame off.

Oh yeah, its been in there for 7 years :slap:

Post some pics if you have one!

I don't have any pics, but my uncle had a pretty sweet one. It was two door, metallic navy blue, slightly dropped, 15" Welds, and the 383 from hell. That car was a blast.

Here's a pic of one I used to watch at the track every weekend. Small block,

Dan's a really good guy, to boot. He used to run his street Malibu in Hot Rod Trophy as well, I think with a 355 he was running low 11s.

For you other drag racing junkies, there's some neat pictures to be had at the Beaver's site. Especially if you're into vintage/nostalgia racing.

Gl to your restoration/build. I love those nice lite malibu chassis's that'll fit BB/SB without much work. I looked for one for several years but ended up with a '79 monte carlo (sothern car) instead that i swapped a '73 chevelle SS for. It was a nice car for 1/8mi (light to light) which was what i built it for. Get to it when you get the time, it should be alotta fun when ya get her done :toast:
