Really nice build, you and your Dad do great work.

If you haven't addressed the front brakes yet when Jim Cassels ordered front brakes for his 78 Malibu he found out that there was a difference between 78 spindles and 79 spindles, he bought brakes from Mark Williams for a 79 and ran into a problem, I can't remember what the difference was but just remember there was a problem he had to work thru.

Very cool! That's one way to weld the main hoop, seeing the body was off anyway.

I'm not sure you know this but you need to make a plate or channel deal that goes across where the heater enclosure was. Without it, you can see right down into the engine compartment, and the ghost tech doesn't like that.

HA! Wish we would of posted this earlier. Yeah that was quite the ordeal finding out this car had a spindle from a 78 on one side and a 79 on the other. The outer bearing was much smaller on the 78. We were able to get everything straightened out though.

Marty, we have a GNG super T 10. I know what your thoughts are haha. Gene Bichelmeier is a friend and local, we got it from him for hardly anything. Should get us off the trailer, we'll see about back on...

I thought I saw 7 county plates in one of the pics...now I know I didn't just dream it. Having Gene close by will be a huge help, as I'm sure you already know. There are lots of us within a couple hours of you if you ever need advice, parts, or whatever. Looking forward to seeing the car at the track!

Appreciate it Paul! Yeah my folks live just outside of Madison on Highway 81, where the shop is at. I actually live in Omaha. I'll add a picture of my super street camaro as some of you will probably recognize it.
