I wish I could be driving one of my Chevelles. I'm so damn frustrated with all of these projects sitting around my garage area I'm about to start throwing scrap prices on everything in my way.
The 70 of course.

Re: Finally unearthed my old '76 Malibu
man, looks alot different with close up pics
and the hubcaps should just pop right off take a screwdriver and slowly go around the outside of it and pop it off on all corners

Re: Finally unearthed my old '76 Malibu
Best way to remove the hubcaps:
Get a long flathead screwdriver (or the factory tire iron - flat side) & pry a little on one side. Once it has started to come off, move a little farther down & repeat. Do this all the way around or until it pops off. If you make it completely around & it's still holding, you should be able to pull it off by hand.
Looks like your problems aren't too bad at all. The dash is gonna be your biggest obstacle. Trunk can be resprayed as well as the fender when you patch it. Dent in the hubcap is easy enough to fix & free.

Hey Rago....
How do you keep 77 busy for hours?
Put him in a round room and tell him to piss in the corner.

Bryan, saw the PHR write up, I think Hunkins has developed a boy crush on you dude. Nice "72".
Lars, nice car, and it's in pretty darn good shape compared to a lot of cars of the same year.
