I think tomorrow afternoon Dave going to paint it.
I have most of the other parts done at my shop.
Got a new 283 in my shop in pieces.
I got the engine that ran 11.02 (-83) this spring on the engine stand.
I will give everybody a look at what makes my car run.
Stay tuned in! Charlie

Re: Midwest Race Cabinets 65 Malibu ss build SS/MA
 

If it ran 11.02 on the engine stand, imagine how fast it can run in an actual car. Sorry, couldn't resist that one...

Re: Midwest Race Cabinets 65 Malibu ss build SS/MA
