That thing looks great. I would love to see a wagon with a gn front clip along with the drivetrane.
 
Thanks for the compliments. No dents or rust. Car was just finished. Its a sliding ragtop like the old VW's had. The AC works great during the day but at the night time cruise-ins its cool to open the top up. Its almost like having a six passenger convertible.
 
malibu wagon

I have seen this car in person and it is a very nice car.Are you the guy that built it?
 
I actually built the car and traded it to him for a new GTO. Like he said its as colse to a new car as you can get. I tried to make it the way it would have came from the factory if they would have made it that way.
 
Yes I'm Necroposting but wondering what kind of tank and fuel system you used on this beast?

Thanks,
