Tranny set in place so we could fabricate the cross member. The malibus of this year have awful stock crossmember design.
Also rear end in place. Don't mind the shims behind the antihop bars, we were told the upper control arms were the right ones for the 12 bolt swap. Wrong

Really nice build, you and your Dad do great work.

If you haven't addressed the front brakes yet when Jim Cassels ordered front brakes for his 78 Malibu he found out that there was a difference between 78 spindles and 79 spindles, he bought brakes from Mark Williams for a 79 and ran into a problem, I can't remember what the difference was but just remember there was a problem he had to work thru.
