Orange Juice'd - My 77

Ok here's some build up pics of my 77 Malibu, took about 4 years. Right now its getting touch ups on the paint and a whole new custom interior and planning to send all the trim to the chromer. This is my first car that I bought, and I never got rid of it.

I dont have any pics of it when i first got.

There's 3 different shades of orange for a base coat.

the interior in the same pattern, minus the buttons. Did it in white vinyl and tweed, with orange piping.

As u can see this car is not made for speed, but cruising down the Blvd.

here's the trunk setup, before and after.

Here's how the motor looks right now, its a little dusty from sitting. I just got the "crossbars" back from the chromer today, just placed them on top to see how they would look.

I don't know if i should detail the inside of the hood ornament, or just leave it like this.

yes some orange detail on the hood ornament would look good.

I'm on the fence about doing it stock colors, but i never thought about it doing it in orange. Thanks for the idea!!!

Hell ya man, that car was a clunker when you got it, its looks a ton better than when you got it. Its hard to believe that such a nice car can be made from something like that with just some TLC and lots of elbow grease
Thanks for sharing!

WOW thats a amazing ride, its good to see a lowrider "Forgotten Generation" chevelle

It's a nice looking car! I especially like that color paint, and the work done to make it look unique. You're rollin' in style, brah!

Thanks for making "Rid of the Week" and posting it on the Gallery front page. Very Cool!!!!

She was a beater, we counted around 90 door dings on each side from bumper to bumper.

Very solid car, there was only one rust spot by one of the quarter windows

HOLY COW! Yours underwent quite a transformation, too. VERY nice.

I really like that color, too Wink

Orange Juiced- How much did u put into your car?

by orange Juiced Thu Feb 05, 2009 7:59 pm

a few bucks....LOL, roughly around 11K, and adding another 3k by the end of the year. But this has been a 4 year build

YA KNOW LOW RIDERS GET A BAD RAP AROUND HERE, BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT THEY HAVE TO BE PART ENGINEER, PART BODY MAN , PART PREP WORK FOR BODY SHOP, PART WELL YOU GET THE IDEA THEY SPEND MORE TIME ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT HOW THEY ARE GONNA INSTALL AND EVEN MORE TIME INSTALLING THEM ITS A PASSION A WAY OF LIFE.......... AND EVEN THE SPEED CHANNEL IS RECONIZING THIS............. I FORGET WHAT DAY ITS ON BUT I THINK ITS CALLED LIVIN THE LOW LIFE ............. HOTTIE HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS

by 1973chevelle Thu Feb 05, 2009 9:52 pm

yeah its called Living The Low Life, its a great show, i love all cars lowrider tuner hotrod and 4X4, , and on Living the Low Life they also reconize "Lowrods", lowriders with big bad a$$ motors but with nice 18"-22" rims and a nice paint but not too outrageous, i think you should see that episode, its a really good one,

by coreys73chevelle Thu Feb 05, 2009 10:36 pm

i saw that episode..thats the cars i like lowrides also like lowriders tho.

by orange Juiced Thu Feb 05, 2009 11:11 pm

Its a good show, it gives u a peak into lowrider culture. Lowriders always do get a bad reps. But if it wasn't for it, i would have gotten into so much trouble.

Just by hanging out with a few freinds i learned so much from them, body work, installing hydros, and custom sound systems. And this summer I'm going to try to lay some paint.

And Maligoon, the host is Vida Guerra......she has big ol booty Very Happy

by orange Juiced Thu Feb 05, 2009 11:23 pm

I love all custom cars, from sleds to rockabilly, and donks to tuners. I get new ideas and try to incorporate them.

Lets see if this pic works.......

i know this is a late response, but rite now i have 20's, and a few years down the road when i get new paint and everything i want to upgrade to 24's.

A little update

I was supposed just redo my interior and change a few little things here and there on the car. Now it's getting to the point that I'm redoing the whole car again Sad

. As much as I like working on it, it seems like its a never ending story with this car. The rebuild is going to be a slow process since the funds are tight right now, but lucky I've been hoarding a "couple" of parts for the last couple of years Thumbs up

I broke down the whole dog house about a month ago to rework the inner fenders and to pull out the engine to replace the transmission seal.

Planning on hiding all the wires, deleting the whole AC unit, and shaving the fire wall. I'm not sure how i want to shave the firewall: (A) all flat and smoothed or (B) just filling in the all holes and little dimples but still leaving all the factory groves and lines.

(A)

(B)

Its going to be a slow process, so I'll post pics as I get things done. Feedback is always welcomed, so let me know.

by JiMi_DRiX Mon Jun 13, 2011 4:43 am

I think I like the second example of the firewall better, its cleaner, but not totally flat. Unless you're getting rid of all the firewall accessories, I'd keep some of the contours.
