My (mostly) first car was grandma's hand-me-down 71 Malibu 2d hdtp - parents owned it, I drove and maintained it. Nothing too special - 307/TH350, bench seat, radio delete. First engine I ever rebuilt. I really liked the car and had visions of turning it into an SS clone though I prefer the look...

I like the color combo though I might be a bit biased lol

Technically it's copper lol but, yeah, it really sets the car apart IMO especially with the matching copper paint. Haven't seen many others in that color combo.

Here's what I have. Both appear to be in similar condition and look pretty good considering they're oem. All pins are intact as is the "hinge" where the front folds. EDIT: looking closer, the 2nd one is missing the bottom center pin.

I have 1 or 2 used ones. I'll pull them out and check their condition. If RedBeard doesn't have them.

They were illegal in FL but not really enforced from what I could tell - I got a warning once - and then I thought they changed the law to make them legal a few years ago. Apparently they are illegal again.

I bought a set of Stealth heads for my 383 earlier this year and had the machine shop check them and do a valve job while they had my other parts. They reported that they had to blend the chambers to valve job as the seats were never installed correctly. Not sure how far off they actually were...

She told me...

I was going to include having sex with my wife on my list but I wasn't sure if it was a hobby. Yep, it qualifies :bananadance: hob·by /ˈhäbē/ noun an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure.

Beyond the cars, I also enjoy home/yard improvement projects and gardening but don't really consider those hobbies. I enjoy working with my hands and have a lot of other hobbies that are mostly stuff in boxes waiting for retirement or in need of space I don't have. In no particular order -...

Congratulations! I am hoping to do the same next January. Health care costs will likely be the deciding factor.

I was a waiter at a coffee house/restaurant in Nagoya Japan the summer after junior year in high school while my dad was there for work. I spoke some basic Japanese but was far from fluent so I had a menu with numbered items that I used to take orders. I worked the afternoon/evening shift so the...

Taking measurements with the +.100 retainers and I am getting nowhere near that much increase over the 440 Source retainers which is a good thing as you noted. I can get one head to 1.894 average +/-.004 by playing with combinations of retainers and locks to take advantage of their own...
