God Bless America


John's (not Quite stock) 1972 Chevelle Malibu. We'll let John tell the tale.
When I purchased this car 4 years ago, I thought a few repairs and minor changes would make it presentable. Well, you know how it is, in order to fix one thing you have to fix another. So I ended up with the body off the frame. I put new body mounts, KYB shocks, springs, tie rods, ball joints, and C E ladder bars to improve traction.

I chose PPG metalic silver is the color with black SS stripes. I painted it in my Cover-It tent garage. This project would have been done in half the time, but when the warm weather arrived in the spring I would slap it together and drive it until late fall.
