I have a 71 Chevelle 4 Door sedan (no vinyl top), but it's not a Malibu. I want to make it look like a Malibu so I need to add the chrome drip rail. I have been told the drip rail from the 2 door won't fit. Anybody know how to find one. Also I am going to add the Malibu logo to the front fenders. I have been also told that there is a template for the location. Anybody know of this template or a way to know exactly where to mount the Malibu logo on each side. Thanks much!!

Look at the pics in my sig. I don't know the exact dimensions, but they should give you a good idea to get close enough. Also don't forget the bottom rail and wheel-well trim - all part of the "Malibu" trim option. smile.gif

beldarr, can you give me the paint code for that exact color?

This is the first time I've ever heard of anyone trying to clone a 4 door malibu . . .

I don't have the exact code, but it's a 2001 PT Crusier "Taupe Frost Pearl". There should be only 2 variations, one light (the one they used), and a darker one (the one I used).

Replace 75 of the 150 parts 'Heavy Alum' with "Alum. Glass Chips", and fog the edges & bottom half with Black & Glass Chips.

And that's how you make The Shinny **** Color.

graemlins/thumbsup.gif It sounds nuts to clone a 4 Door Malibu but it is more for a personal reason. When I was 16 I smashed up my Dad's 71 Chevelle Malibu 4 door. I always wanted to get that car back so I found one in good shape to fix up.

thanks beldar graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I had a 1971 4-door and before I let one of my kids take to a demo derby out in the country I pulled off anything of value. I have all of the removeable chrome that seemed to just snap over the actual body metal ... is this what you are looking for?

graemlins/thumbsup.gif Cloned cars are highly collectible these days. Why not. It's a question of wanting to make your car look nicer. Why did folks go for the malibu to begin with? - 2-door guys smile.gif What do they understand? graemlins/beers.gif
