My 70 Malibu build

[Quadracer392]

Well I've still been working the car but not much visual progress. I got the the dash wired up and got all the heater controls hooked and I ordered the brake booster and master cylinder last week and got it put in over the weekend. Piece by piece it's coming together.

Its looking good ,like a car again .

Very nice job...its geting there.
Good choice on the floor insulation.
As well as sound reducer it also stops water geting to the metal

Thanks!! I got the insulation from amazon which is the best price I found on it anywhere. It's called Fat Mat and it comes in a 50 and 80 MIL thickness. I think I'm going to cover the entire floor and trunk and also above the headliner. We are supposed to get about 6-10 inches of heavy wet snow tonight, so if I can't get out of my driveway in the morning which is a very step grade with a 180° turn at the bottom I'll work it some more tom. if we have power. I guess something else I ought to do is to get some sort of whiteboard or something so I can make a list of everything that needs done and start marking things off.

In my truck I used something similar but much cheaper ,it came from Lowes on a roll. Its made for a roofing product ,cant remember the name but worked good.

Got mine from Eastwood. Had the same rating as dynamite extreme, but was a lot less money. I have heard got things about Fat Mat also

[Quadracer392]

Flash does it have the foil backing also?
Ray, that stuff looks pretty good too. I ought to price it compared to the fatmat and see which is cheaper.

We ended up getting the snow last night and for once got as much or more than predicted. Last time I measured it it was 11" and it has snowed for 4 hours since then so there has to be well over a foot. Power has been off since about 3:30am and not expected to come back on until 11pm Saturday so, we have a small generator running the essential and according to the wife the garage isn't on the list, so I can't work on the car. :-/ I was supposed to get to get two packages today but that's not going to happen either.

Here a pic of the snow drooping the powerline down enough to where hot side was touching the neutral side.

It's been a little while since I've updated anything but I really haven't had much time to work on the car either. Only thing I've really done to it was get the engine wired up to the new harness, so now I can start the car with the ignition. Also, I've been working on the drivers door fitment issue I've been having. After messing with it for a couple of hours last night and figuring out the two drivers doors I have are misshaped and have rust holes that would need to be patched anyway I decided to order a new one. Hopefully Monday when it gets here I'll be able to get it on and fitted.
