It was pretty nasty & stinky did U see the before pic?
I still can't believe they got it looking as good as they did. When I get it all buttoned up I'll take another vid to let you hear it roar.

Re: 1977 Chevelle Malibu Classic Progress Photo's aka Mali
Wow...it's been a while but I did some work recently! Inner fender wells....75% there. Using POR 15 (again) will be followed by a repair to a mount hole for under the battery tray of course & then primer & paint. Anyone suggest a good primer color to put under black so it won't take as much to cover the primer? (I was thinking dark gray or brown?)

Re: 1977 Chevelle Malibu Classic Progress Photo's aka Mali
After Por 15...one is almost complete just the underside to finish. Used JB "Stick" epoxy to form the missing/corroded lip that bolts to frame by the coolant overflow res that the batt tray rests over. I was very happy with it and it used about 1/2 the stick so a $2.50 repair. Sanded it smooth- still needs the bolt hole drilled but the stuff was amazing. Rock hard/sandable within 10 minutes.
Has anyone used the "textured or rubberized" undercoating on the wheel well? I'm debating leaving it smooth but am afraid of chipping down the line...

Re: 1977 Chevelle Malibu Classic Progress Photo's aka Mali
Very nice progress. As far as under inner fenders I had mine Rhino lined. More durable and cuts down on road noise a little more. By the way be careful with the Hooker ceramic headers. I tried 2 pairs and they did not fit. They told me my frame must be bent. I wound up using another companies ceramic coated but I'm drawing a blank but I'll let you know after checkin receipts.

Very nice. My dad took the fender wells for his 70 Chevelle to be chemically dipped (stripped) and e-coated. Haven't gotten them back yet. Cant wait to see them.

Re: 1977 Chevelle Malibu Classic Progress Photo's aka Mali
LOL Kyle. Yes...yes it is.
Thanks Budman. I have a set of old hookers (Wait...I have to get that image out of my mind)...They came w/ the car & they fit good aside from having to jack up the car a-lot & having no space to work on the starter on the other side. I think I'm going to look a either shorties or GM style exh. manifolds if I can find good ones for a Vortec set up. Let me know what you dig up- much appreciated.

Re: 1977 Chevelle Malibu Classic Progress Photo's aka Mali
Kinda hard to see but here they are. Engine side blasted primed and trim blacked. Tire side is Rhino lined smoother than a pickup box and then UV sprayed for easier cleaning.![1977 Chevelle Malibu Classic Progress Photo's aka Mali - Page 3 Chevel25](https://i.servimg.com/u/f45/13/75/97/56/chevel25.jpg)

Re: 1977 Chevelle Malibu Classic Progress Photo's aka Mali
Thanks Budman- they look good. I'm going to try it out while mine are still off the car. That looks like a nice tight grain like they did it at GM did you roll it on or spray it?

Re: 1977 Chevelle Malibu Classic Progress Photo's aka Mali
No i took it to Rhino Lining. It is a franchise like Line-x or many other ones out there. They normally do spray in pickup bed liners. I had them do the whole underside of my body before I put it on the frame. The underside looks just like the fender wells. Should cut way down on the road noise between that on the B-Quiet I put inside the car.

My "New" Old Dash from a 73 Monte donor (had it since last summer) just now refurbishing. Going w/ a Dash Cap that I ordered. Will post more before & after pics when it's completed. Will be fixing the HVAC face plate, blacking-out the chrome on the vents, swapping out the idiot light gauge cluster for a working gauge & tach unit & removing the wood grain veneer....Giggity.....

Mali I used a headlight polisher to claen up the scratches on my gauge lenses if that helps. Can't tell if you have any but if so it worked great.

I've never seen a dash like that. Had an SS Elco with round gauges etc, but not as nice as that one, and no wood-grain either.

Re: 1977 Chevelle Malibu Classic Progress Photo's aka Mali
I don't need any wood grain, but thanks anyway. That SS is long-gone !! My Elco project is a '75, with a '77 Classic interior, and it has the wood grain dash insert. The wood grain looks OK in some instances, but seems better without it in some others.
