1978 Malibu Project, 4th times a charm

Wow!! You've made quite a lot of progress on the build. I commend you on your enthusiasm (I could use some) and gumption to move forward.
Keep up the good work. Everything looks well thought out.
 
This looks cool, Man I wish the room to do a frame off Project! I will be watching this one gona need some tips for an LS swap.
 
Thanks for any encouragement, sometimes I think it's moving too slow. :shock:

Also barely pictured was the new/rebuilt Jeep Grand Cherokee power steering box that, just like others, hits the truck power steering pump pulley so a Dorman 300-201 is on order, I had already picked up the Jeep steering shaft on an earlier salvage yard run to eliminate the worn out rag joint.

If I can just get the engine position set I can get the body pulled back off and start on the floor pan degreasing plus replacement. Oh and build some sort of home made rotisserie to undercoat and seam seal it all.
 
lookin good brother nice work im at about the same point on my build im leaning towards an 5.3L and 2004r but your build is lookin really good check mine out sometime...GBoDYs UP!!!!!
 
NICE!!!!
 
niCE!!! real interested in seeing if you can pull off a home made rotiserie!!! i dont want to dish out 1300 to "acessible inovations'(rotiserie builder) if i can make one mtself as well PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED!!! :wink:
