new 67 Malibu project

so hows is the build going.. you sound like me.. except mine is a f85.. and i spell "michelle" different..

 

WOW! typed a lot and it disappeared! Dang!

Try this..........I'll be more brief.......been accumulating parts..........got a good used tailgate glass installed, found out the electric tailgate motor works, that's a plus......got the driver's door glass back on track, cleaned out the inside, put a rust inhibitor on the floor in the back area, no holes, but surface rust from the missing tailgate glass.........found a deal on a 327 that was too good to pass up. I have a fresh TH350 we'll start out with, as we try to get this thing on the road.
Mike, my son-in-law, and I were at Goodguys this last weekend, and bought more parts at the swapmeet for the car. While there, a friend said he has a disc brake changeover he'll sell us for the car........it's almost time to get dirty on this thing.

 

Oh, by the way, my son in law is a PAINTER!

 

Looks like you have been on this one for awhile. Disc brake conversion is a good choice and not that hard to do. You will like it.

I am also building a Malibu Wagon but mine is a 66 and I am re-designing it into a 2 door Nomad. http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29015&highlight=rmay
Bad winter here this year. Not so much the snow but the cold temps made it hard to put much time in on my projects. A friend helped with the finish body work and priming on my fenders and doors so at least some work was getting done. I still have to finish more inside structural welding and I want to design a rear hatch so that I will have a 2 piece tailgate.
Does anyone know who sells fitted headliners for 66 and 67 Malibu Wagons?
Spring Carlisle is coming up next month so I need to make a shopping list for some of the parts I still need.

 

sounds like buster and ray both are moving along good.. i will be looking into the disc brake swap too. i should have something around here i can rob the parts from.. right now i have 5 projects in the shop. i really need to finish the 51 chevy and maybe the 41 gmc so i will have more room in there for the wagon..from the sounds of ya'lls projects i will not have a chance.. keep us posted both of ya'll...... ray i still have not made it to the furniture store to get some cardboard for a large box for your trim, will let ya know..

 

RMay, The Car and Truck Shop in Orange, CA has headliners listed in their catalog. I've dealt with them before, and plan to get my headliner from them.
Whiskey, I'm sure that your F85 would accept the same disc brakes I used on my 66 Chevelle. Any A body GM car from 67-72 will bolt on. The ones on my Chevelle are from a 71 Cutlass.
