74 malibu - resto thread

[ziyatansu]

Hey!

Here is a little update on our 74 Malibu

My father and I decided to keep the body as it is (for now) with minor changes. but over time, our future plans include:

-new paintjob (possibly light gray)
-ls3 swap
-new trans
-wilwood brakes
-detroit speed front&rear suspension set

we changed the tires and the rims I think they look much stronger and bolder. Here are some pics:

the rear tires are going to be pushed inside 3cm because they run the risk of hitting the body right now as they are too offset.

295's in the back?

[ziyatansu]

yes sir

[JF74chevelle]

What is your back spacing? I have 15x10 295s and mine don't stick out like that

[bigredlaguna]

I bet he has 4" backspace. Mine were out that far with 15x10's.

so we reduced the offset and now it's like this:

That's how mine look but I have no idea how to post pictures

U can post picures by pressing "host image" and then dragging your image on the window that pops up afterwards

Hey. So what backspacing did you end up with?

[fasrnur]

That looks sweet. What size are the front tires?

[ziyatansu]

dont remember. I will see and post tomorrow

[ziyatansu]

the fronts are 245

Looks great. I may pick up a 15x8 & 15x10 combo with 295's on them today. New torque thrusts with tires, guy needs money real bad. I'll have to check the offset.
