Little Mechanics 1978 Malibu Wagon

Awesome project, it's coming along very well! Seeing all those shiny new parts get bolted on I'm guessing that the car will get an awesome paint job to match, any ideas yet?

No plans for a paint job yet...

On goes the Wilwood Big Brake Kit for the 9”. We picked these up from Quick Perfomance and the quality is exactly what we expected from Wilwood.

It's great seeing the boys have first hand experience assembling various components.. I'm sure dad has been a good coach all along. 😉

We’ll just leave this here...

Not to be Captain Safety, BUT some safety glasses are in order. I got a piece of metal in my eye a couple of years ago, and even at 45, having a pair of tweezers in your eyeball is no fun. It'll be worse for a kid.

Don’t forget to read the instructions...

Getting the QA1 front suspension installed ...

Do you rent them boys out? They can come put my brakes on? LOL Love seeing them get into it. My dad only ever did basic repairs that he always had me help. We NEVER had a cool project like yours. I did one with my son before he got a good job halfway across the country.
