    With great sadness I've decided to retire "White 66 Malibu".I recently purchased a 1993 S-10 that will be my new bracket racer.I figure the old girl deserves a rest ,and some restoration.I don't really know what changes I'm gonna make to her.I figured I'd run this by you guy's and see If you have any suggestions?The only problem I have is I don't know how to tell the old girl.The first Sunday my trailer leaves without her well it will probably break both our hearts.

    I happen to have a retirement home and am taking in homeless Chevelles :evilsmile:

    Tedy, I've got a 70SS Chevelle sitting in my shop that we restored to absolute stock. It's no fun to drive. Really. You can't thrash it, you have to be careful where you go with it, people crawl all over and under it, almost run in to you trying to make sure you see their thumbs up of approval when going down the road, and I have to have it locked away for theft prevention reasons. Too much money and time invested in making it like brand spanking new to then do what I want to do with it. I'm probably going to sell it and go find myself one that's been well used but maintained, freshen it up some, then go beat the crap out of it :thumbs2: like they are supposed to be. I'll be bucks up and be having fun at the same time.

    White, the idea of using it as the TV is not a bad idea. You could also just turn it in to a nice street driver, put a vintage travel trailer behind it, and go play in mother nature now and then.
