welcome man glad to have u. i wanna see that bu (bein a fellow malibu guy and all lol)

with that kind of enthusiasm i hope ur not one of those guys who make an account log in once and we never hear from u again lol

Thanks man! I should b posting pics of the BU sometime tomorrow! It's nothing to look at right now -although, I get people asking if it's for sale everywhere I go!! I certainly don't have all the stuff, you have equipped in ur BU! Once I'm finished with the frame, then I will go all out on doing the bodywork on the car! Still..I will show the BU...and even post progress pics.

No man! I'm not one of those heads, that log in an account, but never to be heard from again!! I look forward to making friends on here with fellow gbody enthusiasts. If I can learn a thing or two...as well as, teaching someone something, that would b ideal!! I'm always down for meet and greets too..show these hondas whats up!

Damn straight man! woooooo! cant wait to see that car

ok! here are some pics of the bu!! like i said previously -this isnt much to look at now! i bought this car from long island, ny...slapped a plate on it and had a chase car follow me home! this car has been really good to me! since i owned the car, i've only had to replace the radiator. all in all, it was a great deal. has some minor work done to it...most from previous owner. my biggest thing right now, is repairing the frame!!! once that is done, its on! i am going to lincoln technical institute for autobody...so i plan on going to work on the bu real soon!! will post progress pics soon............

Thanks! I actually DON'T like the Landau look at all!! I am going to remove that trim. I actually have all the plans mapped out for the Bu. It's going to be sick!!! Jeep's newer vehicles, have this really nice green, that i am really digging. So..i am going to paint the whole body that color with a black (not sure if i am going gloss or flat...maybe flat) 4inch cowl hood, blacked out windows, every chrome (i HATE chrome) piece (including grill) on the car..will be powder coated black, blacked out rims, keep the tail dragger stance, bigger tires........and MORE power! good thing...my car doesn't need that much work. also, i will be doing the entire build (minus mechanical) myself! Realistically, i figure the majority of the money, will only be consumed by the power train of the car! i am also going to add that metal mesh, that are usually in cop cars! this will be my biggest challenge -i want to put it (all inside) in the rear window, qtr windows, driver and passenger windows.....all while having ALL glass intact....and in working order!
I know, this will be sick once it is complete! I will be sure to post pics as the progression moves forward!!!!

Hey welcome man, fellow landau owner myself. I think you should remove the trim if there's no vinyl left it looks out of place. Welcome though, from a fellow Malibu guy.
