Looking good.  Are you going to change the dash also ? And the side marker light emblems.

Do I see right that one of the cars is a factory air Beaumont?

If so, that's gotta be pretty rare.

No, its just a test fit on my donor car..but can understand why..there is no room behind the grille for the evap..I had to"adjust it" a little. Been a eye opening experience..but fun..on to the rear of the car...then the entire dash/firewall..ooohh I cant waitbiggrinbiggrin

Another one saved as they say! Good work.

Is the garage you're doing it in a private shop, a industrial unit? I see a couple of shipping containers outside, so I suppose it's not your backyard.

Have fun.
Mark.

Yes . Beaumont only, You can see how the catch release handle is angled to the side to clear the split grill. Your Malibu should be in the centre. 


Way to go Carl you got the hint.biggrin.gif

Hey Albert,

That's some project that you decided to take on.  I agree with 69 Laurentian this is a threed I'm going to enjoy watch to see how the project advances.   Nice use of some farm machinery to assist in moving the body around.

You guys seem to have all the luck when doing these projects.   thanks for saving another 69 Beaumont from reverting back to its natural elements.

wow!   you do good work biggrin   I think its great you are using the Chevelle body to save the Beaumont!    a original car with new floor pans, or quarters, etc is not original    Save that Pontiac!!!!

Excellent work. Notice as well that you have all of the safety gear at hand - mask, ear protection, eye protection & gloves. Just like in an industrial work place. Something we all need to think of when working on our cars.
