Good start! These projects usually take a long time. Take your time and don't take any short cuts!

There is someone who makes replacement frame rails for your rusted out sections. If I can find the link, I'll post it. Maybe check on www.maliburacing.com

I've always loved those cars for some reason. maybe b/c my first 4 cars were 78-81 Malibus.

my brother will propably build the frame rails for me so I don't have to buy new ones.https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif
