Re: Official Show Us Your Car ( 73-77 )
I love em all. Even if they have big rims that are not my thing I still love the body style. 74s are my favorite as far as rear lights for some reason. Maybe cause my dad had a 74 winter beater once and I remember riding in it. That Ghost rider car is so damn cool. I love the red. And it makes me think I might be able to get away with painting my grill surround on my 77 classic since the AL anodizing is kinda ugly. Matching Green might look good, after all its a resto mod so a couple hints of mods are ok I guess.

Before you paint it, here's what I did. Â I removed the anodized surface, wet sanded the aluminum (up to 2000 grit) then polished to a chrome finish. Â I used mothers mag polish.

Re: Official Show Us Your Car ( 73-77 )
i think the mothers polish seals it pretty good. Â I did that grille last winter and it hasen't oxidized yet. Â My uncoated wheels only need polished once ever two years or so, and thats just because i prefer a highly polished look, not because they look bad.

I didn't notice any of it, but I contribute my extreme astigmatism. (Makes it very hard when you are a graphic designer!) I even see double with one eye closed. Doc said that was weird! lol

My "high school sweetheart": 1975 Malibu Classic station wagon
Here I am at the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City, MI. Â Unfortunately, all those ladies have obscured my ride. Â

My dad bought it new in 73', then it was my first car and hopefully my son will want it. I am stocking up on parts for the rebuild now but no work has started.

Re: Official Show Us Your Car ( 73-77 )
I will add mine too although I should wait for another month when its back to one color  ![Laughing](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_lol.gif)
1977 Malibu but added a 1974 Chevelle front end.
Stock look but I had it repainted with new vinyl top in 1997. Tear down started in 2013.
![Official Show Us Your Car ( 73-77 ) - Page 4 Mms95p10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f84/17/79/60/25/mms95p10.jpg)
How it looked prior to going to body/paint guy in December 2015 (with new body among the other different colored panels).

I'm patiently waiting the final results.
