The original build was completed some time in the early 90’s.\u00a0 It was before I really started painting.\u00a0 I used paint markers to do the trim and interior. \u00a0It worked, but wasn’t very interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some time ago, I started reworking old models.\u00a0 This was the first of many.\u00a0 I don’t have before shot of what it looked like prior to tearing it apart.\u00a0 The comparison shot I have was taken after I had already put on a new suspension and wheels. I used body filler to smooth out the hood scoop and then shaved quite a bit of the body trim.\u00a0 Everything turned out very well on this rebuild except for the side pipes.\u00a0 I did a better job with them on the next Malibu.<\/span><\/p>\n

I wasn’t going for any kind of scale accuracy with regards to the front suspension. \u00a0This was a drag car with a tilting front end. \u00a0All I wanted was a low stance and a clean look. \u00a0I managed this by attaching whatever front cross member I had laying around and worked the rest of the kit around it.<\/p>\n

Originally built around 1992
\nReworked: May 2005<\/p>\n
