DON'T LS SWAP YOUR G-BODY BEFORE WATCHING THIS VIDEO!

This is the first real "vlog" I've done on this channel. I thought I would give everyone a run down on my 1979 Chevy G-body Malibu known as the Hood Rat Hot Rod. Mod list is below!

I love how your pocket is hanging out of the hole in your jeans. True sign of a guy being frugal and spending the $$ on the race car.

man I'm days away from getting my 78 monte back driving.. been a 7 year rotisserie restomod.. eyeballed your ride a few times at the ls fest.. haven't done it yet, but I hijacked your bed liner idea on fb lol

cant wait to show mine off this year . . hope to see you there 👍

This car is very cool. Ida maybe hidden the cage a bit and left some sorta back seat. Same with “dash.” It could really surprise a lot of different kinds of go-fast types.

2:39 Broooo no I have that video saved to one of my playlists from high school. I think I was trying to figure out what kind of exhaust to put on my grandpa's k30 or something lol.

This G-Body is perfect. Our kind of Hot

[flagcityparts]

I remember that car running around lima..
as a note look into a dry sump oil system for doing donuts. the last engine died do to the oil being pushed out of the pickup from gforce. I've got 5 ls swapped g bodies and found out the hard way on hard launches and donuts

[paulcondie]

She's a beast! I'm in the midst of building my new whip. I just put together a 468 big block. I'm going old school. Looking for a g body roller or really anything I can stuff that bohemeth in. Wish I knew more about computers but I'm an old fuck so doing an old school carburetor build maybe even a tunnel ram. Love your ride!

[loulangkamp]

So why should I watch this before swapping my G-body to an LS?

[marcust]

Subbed! I have an 80 Malibu coupe & have been wanting to do something similar!

[pegisis]

There is no such thing as a silly sounding camshaft lol. ALL THE CHOP OR NONE OF THE CHOP! 😂😂😂
