Hello all. And thanks for letting me join the forums.

I bought a 1969 Chevelle Malibu just over TEN years ago.
I used to drag race a 1970 Gremlin..I know..lol
I bought the Chevelle to replace the Gremlin.
But the body needed just to much work. So the car sat.
I tryed to sell it many times. For as low as $1000.00 but no takers.
Yes it was a complete running car. With all the regular rust points.
Rear quater panels, Outer wheel houses, Truck floor drop down, Drivers door etc..

So this summer was to be the year to fix up the old girl.

1) Replaced both trunk drop downs, Outer wheel house's LH/RH. (Goodmark)
2) Both rear quarter panels LH/RH. (Goodmark)
3) New front fenders LH/RH (Goodmark).
4) Bought a new interior kit from OPGI.com
5) Complete Seal kit for the doors, windows etc.. OPGI.com
6) Bought a complete Grill. OPGI.com (The old one was a 1968 Chevelle grill, so was the RH fender..sold that on E-Bay...lol)
7) Bought a complete Upholstery kit. OPGI.com (Seats are now redone.)
8) Also have new carpet, inner door panels, headliner, rear window Sill, etc... (All Black) OPGI.com
Well thats what I got done so far this summer.
I hope to get some help from the members of this forum. This is a big job...But I love it...
Well thats my story...Thanks for letting me in...
