This is a pic of the front of my '78 Malibu. The engine is a 454 big block. I have added Chrome Valve Covers, New Headers, and a Chrome Oil Pan.

These are the new headers and the chrome valve covers that say "454".

Front pic of the car with the motor in it. Have added a chrome timing chain and a chrome painted harmonic balancer(Will be updated to a chrome harmonic balancer soon).

Just recieved the new Hurst Pistol-Grip Quarter Stick Shifter that has the button for line-lock on the top and reverse lock-out. Also recieved a new radiator to keep it cool.

Front Fenders, new hood, trunk, and doors are sanded down. The rest of the car will be sent in to be finish sanding and will be painted.

Exhaust will be added on soon and change the interior with bucket seats. Ceiling and all will be black.
