Hello everyone. I recently bought my first Chevelle, but have wanted one since before I could even drive. I picked up a 1971 Malibu with a 350/350, column shift with a bench seat. Has a nice straight body, paint is old but looks decent. I have some new 15x7 and 15x8 Torq thrust wheels with 225/60r15 and 275/60r15 BFG TA Radials on the way from Summit. Also some new front and rear door panels, and arm rest pads too. After I get the new tires and wheels on I will look into getting the stance right. Previous owner told me he recently went through the front end. I think he changed the front springs but left in the worn old rear ones, as the nose looks a bit high to me. Thinking of selling the current wheels and tires on craigslist and putting that money towards an Eibach pro kit. Or maybe just getting two inch front lowering springs. Anyone have reccomendation in that matter? It has drum brakes on all 4 corners which have recently been gone through and work pretty good. I considered upgrading the front with some 2 inch drop disc brake spindles, but have kinda shy'd away from that as it gets pricey and the drums work good. Look forward to looking and learning on here and hope everyone gets some good wrench time in on their cars over the winter for some fun summer cruisin'!
