I thought I should post up and say hi.
My car is a 1967 Malibu. Its nothing special just a 327 4 speed. I bought it it 1984 (or somehere around there don't remember exactly when LOL!) Its been resting in my garage since 1990. Well my wife recently mentioned I should try to get the Malibu modified how I want it so we have something to cruise around and take on power tour next year. I had been working on a 67 Mustang for a while and several other cars before the Mustang. Well I had to think about my wifes offer that for all of maybe 1 second. So off I go. :beers:
I'm not looking to race or anything like that. Just looking for a cruizer with decent performance both cornering and straight line, good stance, comfortable (as an older car can be), and fun to drive. I definetely have to do something with the brakes (locked up, single master cylinder, drums, etc), front suspension, and rear suspension (severe wheel hop issues if I remember correctly), and the steering box is really loose. I would like to lower the stance substantially as it sits really high right now. Any ideas anyone wants to throw out would be apreciated.
I have been trolling this site for a while and finally decided I should register. This is a great site with lots of good information and lots of people with far more knowlege than I'll ever have.
Thats about all I can think of right now. If you have questions please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Kevin
