I swear door day is the leg day of the car world, nobody wants to do it but it will pay dividends if done correctly.
More sand, and sand, and sand, and....wait, primer!
Awesome!
Glad to see you back at it (or possibly “still”?) on the Malibu. Not that I haven’t enjoyed seeing the progress on the square body, but I was missing the updates on this ‘ol girl.
Voted for ya on this month’s GBOTM too btw, but it looks like we both got beat out there!

Thanks! I agree it has been languishing but I'm not a mud and paint guy(wish I had your skills!) so I am at the mercy of my body guy for a while. We have booked the painter for the beginning of November so we will start making more progress.
That’s great to hear man. Having a set deadline to get everything done by should certainly help provide the motivation to get it done.
I can do without the filler work, the endless sanding and the giant mess that’s associated with it all, but I do love being behind the trigger on the paint gun. I find it challenging and very rewarding all at the same time.
My junk is still in it’s time out, but I have this week coming up off so I might look at getting back into it again. November is likely the time I’ll start hitting it hardcore again, probably starting with the doors.
You're not a paint and body guy? Could've fooled me! I'm amazed every time I see what you've done with the body of your car!
I rely on the man in the pics for mud and paint, I am his helper, everything else is my sweat and tears. After observing his work, there is no way in hell I could get to his level this late in life, especially when most the car will be black. Whoops, let out a little secret...
I will be trying my hand at spraying single stage paint with the truck though. 😵
Spraying paint is the fun, easy part!
Picked up the bumpers from the sandblaster, that I dropped off in May, really. 
They did give me a discount.
