Default 68 Malibu

Hay guys and gals (if any), name is andrew from the north east and starting my 454 twin turbo project. purchased the roller 2 months ago (68 malibu), that had a 350 in it. i recieved the car with no engine/trans, but with a 9 inch rear (not sure on ratio) and a stripped interior. what i have done so far is..
took apart whole front end down to frame... sanded and por15 everything. now waiting for the engine to mount and put it all back together, then its ad the turbos and call it a day.
as i'm sure most of you know its not a simple as slapping on turbos and off to the next cruse.. i do have some work cut out for me, but that is my project in nutshell.
im sure i'll be posting more in the near future.

Thanks

At first glance I thought we might have another Black car fan, but it looks like it is a deep purple. Sounds like you have a great project and I can't wait to hear about your progress. Just curious...gonna keep the hood scoop ?
