Loneagle's '80 Malibu work in progress pics

[loneagle]

Just wanted to share some pics of my on going project. I'm slowly getting work done on the car. I try to do a little bit each weekend. Right now I'm working on painting and detailing the engine compartment and installing custom gauges. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment!

Here's some of the goodies I'll be installing as I go. Valve covers were sandblasted and then painted with VHT wrinkle finish. Blue air cleaner to match my breathers and plug wires

Holley #4776 600 cfm dbl pump

Scorpion roller rockers

Here's what I got done so far in the engine compartment. I'm using POR chassis black to paint the metal areas. Awesome stuff! Flows out and looks like it was sprayed on!

Thanks! I'm trying to get it looking a little better. It was a real beater when I got it!

That cat likes to hang with me in the garage for some reason :?

Got the dash all assembled this weekend. Still have to figure out the tach mounting.

I got the gauges all done and the tach installed. The engine compartment is all painted and ready to be assembled. It snowed here this morning. Can't wait for the sunny weather to arrive so I can work on the car a bit more.
