Good Morning Mike!

Thanks Space!

I am posting a pic of my 72 Malibu. I have owned it since High School! Had to park it some years ago. Then life got me away from Hot Rods for a spell. Now the rust Demons have left some serious damage. But we will overcome!

One Day she's gonna be a real street sleeper. I am thinking 383 stroker kit, feul injection...oh yeah!

Thumbs up >That would be a Super Project 4 U & Family <

Hi `Tommy,
Thanks for posting sharing

Looks like a Super Project 4-Sure!
I sure hope that you can find the time/$'s to restore your Malibu back to life on the highways of your `Life WoW..

How many miles on it now ? How is the condition of the 350 ?
Is it auto or standard transmission ?

Don't ever give `up on your dreams...I know that family has to come first (?) or should it be your dream ride (LOL) ?

Wish you the best of luck on a future restore Thanks

Family fist for sure!

She's an automatic. I rebuilt the engine in 1984. Only 10k on engine but will go through it again when the money tree shakes. Tranny is good but will rebuild it too.

The body will be first. I am thinking Hugger orange with black hood stripes.

Thanks for all that you have done & do to make 0ur forum GOOD & better 4-Sure...

Wish you & Member's a Good & Happy New Day of Life
I constantly have to remind myself how much better we have it then so many that are living on Planet Earth. We all have our problems, but they are really minor compared to the majority of other's that are living without or in constant fear everyday

I still try to look at what I have & be thankful & not concentrate on what I don't have. I'll just keep working hard on getting to where I want to be in life & keep reminding myself & others to be Thankful to `be 4-Sure...

Good afternoon everyone, enjoying a relaxing thanksgiving monday up here today. Had 11 people over for turkey and ham. Nice dinner but we made way too much food as usual, on the positive though leftovers of turkey and stuffing are never a bad thing.

Hope everyone is enjoying their day

Hi `Ken,
Your post/words inspired a thread to you & country for a Belated Happy Thanksgiving. (Sadly, I have no excuse & I'm not even taking any pain med's >LOL)
It's great to read that you had a great Turkey dinner & were able to share with others in your life. We all have so much to be thankful for 4-Sure
>Thank `You<

Hi Red Monte Carlo (no name in your profile),
A day is never wasted `if you gain experiences & lessons. I can relate to painting problems....I found it wasn't one of my talents...(I'm still searching for other talents>no luck) I now take my auto/bike/skateboard to the pro's to paint

I hope a member can post help on getting the rest of the dip `off. I've never Plasti dipped Good Luck to You >Don't give up on getting your Monte the way U want `it to be
