My 70 Malibu build

[Quadracer392]

Thanks guys! It's definitely been a learning experience for me.


Got the rest of my parts I needed for the body in this evening and got started on it after dinner. First thing I tackled was the new carb. that came in. I ended up getting the Polymer version of the Street Demon 625 CFM. I must say I'm pretty impressed with how this thing is made and how it looks but even more impressed with how it ran right out of the box. Primed it with fuel hooked the ignition wire back up and it fired right up. I hooked up a vacuum gauge and adjusted the idle screws just a tad and seemed to run really good. True test will be when I'm able to drive it.




Here's is what I started with as far as the body this evening


I got the inner and outer wheelhouse along with the trunk extension test fitted. After a little finesse with the trunk extension which at first seemed like it wasn't going to fit very well, I got it where I needed it and the other parts almost fell into place. Now I can take everything back out, treat the rust, fix a couple small rust holes, prime and paint then tack it into place and start fitting the quarter.
