A bit of background story on my 78 Malibu. Car was originally bought by my aunt, who later gave it to my dad. He sold it years back, and then managed to buy it back when that guy sold it again. It spent most of my childhood parked out in my parents back yard. So my folks decided to give her to me, and I started working on it last spring.

So, in a little over a year, this is what I've done. I should have a full rolling frame in a few more months, then I can tackle some work on the body.

Welcome aboard Rick!
Nice progress...everything's looking good. Nice job on the frame rails, too.
I like your makeshift garage structure.. It beats leaving it out in the elements, that's for sure.
