Winter Project, '67 Malibu

**CC Rider** · #1 03-08-2009, 07:33 AM

Reassembly is not progressing with this car as I had hoped. Can't install the new headliner until one of those plastic headliner bow clips arrives! Talk about hard to find! Plus we can't find the box of misc bolts, screws, and hardware I need to put the dash and the interior back together. Not the first time I've had to work like this, but we'll get it done sooner or later. But spring and summer car coming and I won't be going up to the shop as frequently.

Today, I just prepped and refinished some headlight buckets and the washer tank bracket. I'm STILL waiting for turquoise paint for the steering column.

Anyway, it was so warm outside today, we opened all the doors, did what we could, then washed our daily drivers.

Here's some of the more interesting stuff in the shop today.

'69 Chevelle and '69 Cutlass S! All are customers' rides.

The Cutlass is getting a new intake and carb.

This one has some serious bottom end noise and oil pressure issues.

I'm in a holding pattern, waiting on some parts. Some stuff arrived damaged.

This is a neat truck, just needs some TLC, air in the RF tire, and some paint.

Hope I can get something major done next Saturday.

I got a "little" done on the '67 today, but not much. I'm waiting for ONE stupid headliner bow clip so I can install the headliner. The idiots that sent the weatherstrip order sent '72 Chevelle stuff, not '67 Chevelle stuff!

An argument has ensued.

So this '67 will probably be a spring, summer, fall, and winter 2010 project the way things are going right now.

But in the mean time, we did have a small, mini-car show today.

The orange '69 Chevelle and silver '69 Cutlass have been seen before in earlier posts. The '70 is Jay's car, and the ZO6 belongs to a friend named Wayne. Jay and Wayne brought their cars out to blow out the cob webs and clean them up for another cruising season.

Looking good Jay

This needs engine work. It will probably be a few months until this one is cruising.

Two Chevelles

Under Wayne's hood.

Things are looking up, it was actually partly sunny today and almost reached 50*!

I sure like that Maggie'ed Z06 and would love to do the same to my yellow one, but mine seems to get me in enough trouble the way it is. A ticket-getting machine they are.

Wayne kept adding more and more. Now it sorta scares him to spank the car. I think he's in his 70's.

We need to "encourage" Jay (original70, or something like that) to post up more pics of his '70! He keeps telling me he'll call me to help him post and link his pics, but the only people that call me are telemarketers.

My encouragement isn't enough.

Okay Jay...what are you waiting for???

OK..OK..What night you free this week Rick to show me this posting process? I have followed the tutorial that was posted on another thread but seem to be doing something wrong. Will also put together a little history of car and send that.
