Hey there, did you buy this in Forest Grove? Is this the ad from Craigs? Love those 67's. Maybe we will see you this Summer in Canby for the Chevelle gathering. I drive a black semi gloss 70 and live in Aloha.

You are making great progress...nothing like a wife who loves cars. Bj has her 67 Elcamnio and everytime I bring anther one home its ok. as long as her MS Ellie gets the garage time to time J

Probably should start a build thread....

So we started on the dash, as usual I'm trying to keep it somewhat original with a modern pro-touring edge... This is just the rough metal work...I'll get it cut for the guages and head unit soon.

It will utilize an SS upper strip, I'll retain all the factory switches with billet knobs. Factory heater controls and what not. The ashtray will be converted to an Ipod holder

Been a while since I updated this thread...

The Malibu was put on hold last summer due to some needed hand surgery and a couple projects around the house.

We hit it hard this spring made some changes and things are progressing once again. I think I'll start a build thread soon... so stay tuned.

Welcome and nice start to your project. A rumbling motor just sounds better in a Chevelle!
