I can't finish this car until I finish my Firebird. Some of the pieces from the bird are going on the Malibu. As an example the front spindles from the bird are needed to install the hotchkis front suspension and the rear brakes from the bird are going on the bu. As soon as the bird is done I'll be working on this car again but I have been collecting parts and working on the rear.
As you could see in the pics above the axle tubes were pitted. Since I'm a PT kinda guy I used Ospho, sanded, shot with DP 74 epoxy primer, smoothed pitted metal with filler, and then shot a coat of K 38 high build sandable primer on it. Some more smoothing and it'll be ready for final paint! Will it make it go faster corner better or stop quicker? No, but sometimes mission creep takes over.
