Tidied up the shop a bit and rolled the malibu out again, finish welded the tubs and spare delete panel in one tack a time.. Rear window deck area had a patch that was riveted in 20 or so years ago
Did some work on the cut out area then sealed and primed..cleaned up a replacement piece tacked in, cleaned up and primed for meow.

Well, chassis is a roller at least!.... borrowed some 20's from a friend so i can shuffle around.. waiting for some bolts to come in and ill get the body swapped over.
i think im changing ideas a bit, cars going to be for cruising around on summer nights.. i think i may forget about the cage, not really wanting my prego gf to have to worry about getting in and out. i would still like to run the 5-points so i think ill bend up a B pillar bar and just weld in removable ends.. keep it neat

Bit of progress, installed a pan to countersink the cell.. Started on removable b-pillar bar.
Made a mount plate for shifter and tacked into a comfy spot.
And cleaned up until another couple free days, slowly but surely..

Well mine as well post some pics now, ill take more when i do more tonight..
mounted handbrake, finished a few supports from trunk hinges to tubs.. and finish welded everything else left.. spent half a day cleaning up every spot where work was done to look purdy..
Decided to cut out fender lip for some more clearance.. cut and tacked it back together as i went.... can stuff a 14'' wide tire tucked now... weeee
seam sealed the whole underbody.. which was messy as hell, i dropped a huge blob in my beard and spent a half an hour with acetone getting it out ( didnt pass out tho!) win...
next day i cleaned up the rest of the underbody and scuffed up...then masked off for some underbody rubber rock guard..
trimmed and lots of rooooom.
mm messy seam sealer
all prepped and cleaned, my make shift poly spray booth
all minty fresh now.
spent so much time prepping everything and cleaning up metal, pics barely do it justice lol.
