Thank you everyone for the kind words. It started out as a low mile 307 2bbl Malibu. Other than the 5th character of the VIN and a few other small details, the car now has all of the "SS" options. I am hoping to throw some sticky tires on it and make a few passes before I do the heads and cam swap.
Funny you should say something about the color Ms Grumpy, for many years my father considered green to be bad luck. Now, we jokingly tell people that we built a "green car" to help the environment.
