Well here's something different. My uncle stopped by this morning to show off his new toy. '87 Callaway Corvette. Twin turbo. Pretty little slick, looks like t never left the 80s! He wants me to bring the paint back to life, it's seen better days.

I had a model of that when I was a kid, only it was an emerald green color. Probably not as fast as this one though...

This is the last project car we did. 1964 Chevell S/S. Yes, true S/S car.
Brought it home from New Mexico. Original 327 had a window in it with #1 rod trying to get out.
4 speed car. We took it down to nuts/bolts on a rotisserie.
Replaced every nut/bolt in it. New bumpers, glass, interior, after market suspension, disk brakes all 4 corners, ground up built Super Charged 454 4 bolt with all the goods. 535 at the wheels. M-22 crusher. Powder coated everything under the car, wheel houses core supports radiator etc and so on. Smoothed the fire wall. Twin fans in front of the radiator.

Way to much to list. Car won its class in the 500 world of wheels.
It handled like a slot car and was stupid fast. Drifting made easy if you used too much right peddle.

The Iroc wheels were about all I could find with the proper offset for the biggest tire we could get under it. They worked on this car.

A dear friend of mine did the finish body work/prep and paint on this. He called that whiter than white.
He did the custom paint on my bikes as well.

Looks nice mouse. I love those early Malibu's.

That's like a 1 ton isn't it?

 

[RustyHornet]

I don't think so. It's 3100 which I believe was the 1/2. I think 3300 or 3400 was a 3/4. Not sure on the 1 ton. It's an aftermarket type 4x4 conversion I believe. May have left the factory and went straight to be converted type of deal.

The oldest ride I ever owned, and probably the coolest. Miss it. Old iron has style.

 

[RustyHornet]

Style and personality. Oh and don't forget the quirks! Everyone of them is different and you have to treat them just right.

I may be wrong, Google here I come!

3100-3400 was 1/2 ton. 3600 was 3/4. 3800 was 1 ton.
