Amazing work, that car looks incredible! Makes me want to do a frameoff myself 😀 Just wondering, what brand weatherstripping did you use and did you have any difficulties getting the windows to operate and seal properly against the rubber?


Soff seal, the windows took some adjusting but now close perfect!
 
by far my favorite malibu!!

Thanks i appreciate it!... This was my first major car build, and with that alot of the work done was my first time as well (ie mini tubs,frame notch ) i find sometimes the best way is just to jump in with both feet and go to town, researching as much as you can before tho obviously. and always measure 30 times cut once!!!!
