Good luck

Thanks Jimmy. Trying to use what I learned over 27 years on the Malibu as well as advancing my skills over that time to make this car even better.

But the quality and work on this is no different than any other car we build for customers.

What shop do you work for?
Also curious, why use the stock shock towers?
Amazing work!

Amazing work!

Stock shock towers as the class I run requires bolt on factory style suspension.

I work for a shop in Maryland called HFR Fabrication.
