Put this old girl to work today. Picked up a barn find 1967 Malibu. Been off the road since 1985. Atleast that's what the last registration sticker on the plate says.

That malibu!
You gonna have a thread on that, or what's the story there?

It's a total barn car, been in the barn since 1985.

Pretty neat, too. Factory 327/glide, 5 passenger seating (buckets), column shift, tinted glass, power steering, AC.

Right now my plans are to stuff it in the garage and forget about it for a few years. It was one of those "right price, right time" deals. So I snatched it up for a future project.

Awesome build, just recently bought a 2003 RCSB that i was wanting to do about the same thing to is as it is a base model. Looks good

Thank you! I will say, the wiring swap and other stuff was fairly easy to do.

In other news, saw a $200 running 283 on Facebook marketplace yesterday. So ran an hour out of town, bought the 283 for the Cal Custom valve covers, Edelbrock intake and the Holley 4 barrel. Then sold the 283 longblock for $200. :)

Alright, got the OEM Denali headlamps buffed and clear coated. Installed.

Wow! What a super nice difference with the projectors. Super sharp cutoff and nice focused beam!

The last picture was before I aimed the headlamps.

Figure the 'Ol Pappy truck has been awfully good to me, this past year. Might as well spend some cheddar on the body and get it super nice.
Just got the correct painted lower valance back from the body shop this morning!
