Going to start with safety improvements, disc brakes all around is the first major upgrade. Going to pull the 350 but havnt decided if i'm going to rebuild and leave it numbers matching or if I am going to put a new crate engine in.

My plan is to make this into a car I can drive and enjoy, not really looking for a show car but something I can enjoy. I figure a newer motor with tighter tolerances might be more reliable.

I'm going to ditch the vinyl top and put in an all new interior i'm thinking of pulling the bench front seat and switching to buckets. I'm going to leave it as a Malibu.

I went to VA Tech so will probably paint it Chicago Maroon with some orange pin stripes, best I can tell the car was originally green, or white, or maybe tan.
