- I start a new build with a 1977 Malibu Classic that has been severely rusted out in the past. It pretty much needs a complete body swap, so let's get started! In this video I cut the roof and quarter panels off. Let's see how rusted it really is!

1 thing for sure, no one can ever accuse you of being scared to take on a helluva job.
Exactly !
Your builds are insane
Thanks
I love this build! I'm a big fan of that body style, '73-'77. My mother had one (4 door)and a neighbor had a Laguna S3 Really love the Laguna S3!
who doesn't like a Laguna S3
With so much madness in America right now why not create a piece of your own?!!!!! You have taken on something only a few would take on especially on their own! Looking forward to see how this turns out!
Great job, Lee. You proved you can compete with anyone. Great job
This is going to be an epic series on this build, I'm looking forward to this one.
Thanks
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. No surprise on rust found I own two Oldsmobile Cutlasses 1976 sport coupe many of rust areas same as the Cutlasses ! Many folks do not like the Colonnade body system , but the possibility of what can be built great if you fine low rust car . The money your customer is paying he would been better off finding one that did not so much work ! Good luck Lee your a better man than I , it will look unbelievable when your done ☕️👀😎👍 !
Make it into a Luguna S-3 Clone!
Again, the amount of work you do, to the vehicles you work on, amazes me! Always, well done Sir!
Thanks
What a job!
Love this build . My friends and I all had cars from this era in high school. Cruised the wheels off of them. 👍👍
Looks like a hell of a lot of work but when your done you will have one solid car.
Its going to be a great car when complete. Learning a lot. Thanks and looking forward to the next.
Don't know if you knew this or not but, dashboards of the same years on Monte Carlos are identical. Thanks for all the videos and hard work you do for us.
One of our neighbors had green Laguna in their backyard in the 80s
Sort of like an archaeological dig, exploring past history. Good luck.
exactly
Couldn't agree more Lee. Good save. Might as well do it right 👍💯
this is gonna be a awesome built since i watch your channel this gonna be the most challenging build can't wait to see the finish product have a great weekend lee and nikky
Love the collonade GM's, for the wheel opening moldings you could leave them off and do Laguna type stripes on the lower body that go around the wheel wells, looking great so far.
Mad scientist stuff!! I love it! I worked at a used car lot for almost 20yrs. Man we did some wild butchery! Ive never seen a whole top half and quarter job at once. Keep rolling man!! Great job 👍👍👍🍻
Thanks
Can’t wait to see her finish ed
This build will test you skill, patience and sanity. Thats alot of work. Pole Barn wouldve drove it as is, the crap he buys!
I think it's a worthwhile build, It's no muscle car, may not get a whole lot in return if you were to sell it, although these were nice looking cars with paint, & wheels on them. I'm sure your friend Art would appreciate it, maybe enough to sell it back to him once he sees it finished. (LOL) Besides, it keeps you busy while missing power tour. If it will retain the red interior, I'd paint it pearl white with red, with and blue pinstripe similar to the Pontiac Can Am that came out that same year in '77. That was one sharp looking car.
This is the toughest builds yet. But I know of anyone can do it. You will get it Lee. And it will be solid Thank you !
💯👊👍💕
Thanks
I use to have a 75 it was a cream color. Paint and interior was perfect. Motor ran ok but was 1 of the weakest 350 engines I ever seen. I paid a 1000 bucks for it, my wife drove it 4 years and I sold it for 3 grand. I don’t think I even put a battery in it. It gave me 0 troubles. The only reason I sold it was wife was wanting a Toyota Celica gt.
I like this project 👍👍
i subbed for this build, take your time and put in new metal where there is rust holes, this one is worth saving. its gonna be a beauty when its finished 🙂
Thanks
Enjoying this project,,i think it is definitely worth the effort..thanks for sharing
Thanks
Love this build! My dream car! Blk, tan inter, 400sbc I'd be set
Great watch as always some serious work going into this lee !!! hats off to you showing people what you can do and digging straight in no messing about👌💯 cant wait for the next one
To me it doesn't even matter if it worth fixing or not, i am super impressed by your ambition on these projects! Just awesome to watch you do your thing. Looking forward to the next video. (Hello from Canada 🇨🇦)
Thanks
You Buddy is going to want it back when you are done!
it'll cost him dearly
You sure will get after it for sure
Wow !! That sea salt really kills them. Worse than our northern road salt.
The 7 ups chase scene is better than Bullit’s chase scene😂😂🙃
Great video Lee you really had word cut out good job man
Mad skills Lee, appreciate and learn so much from your vids. 👊🏻
Thanks
Worth fixing, had a 73 laguna s3 while stationed west Germany swivel seats green with white interior drove great leak some oil though.
G'day mate awesome. Showing off your skills on this one buddy 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
Heck yeah bro this is better than biscuits and gravy and dairy Queen ❣️❣️
He's got the eye of the tiger! 👁🐯 Go Lee go. 😉✌
I was skeptical at first but I see what you're doing now 👍🏻.had a 73 ss 454 it was rough,a decent 73ss clone and 73 gmc sprint.had a wrecked 73 for parts. Hard to find parts for these .had a n.o.s inner wheel house and ss gauge cluster.i even missed out on 73 ss chevelle.
I know original color was silver but sure looks good black
Thanks.
You are not afraid
You got your hands full on that build but let's see what it comes out and looks like no criticisms or anything a lot of likes like the contents and like the build if it's worth it or not I'm not up on the pricing butt it's one car saved from the scrap yard and being kept from being crushed and that's another saved car till the next videos
Maybe should have cut the roof off and left it off. Just a summer cruiser. Or make what you got a removable hard top. Looks good with roof off. Fun car. Just clean up around back window. Good
Dang Lee POR 15 needs to step up and throw you a little bone and do a little sponsoring here that stuff aint cheap! Hey Nikki
true that
Just a thought, years ago, we would drill a hole in the bumper shock absorbers and drain the hydraulic fluid out. Then collapse the bumpers so they would be closer to the body for a better look. Eliminate the filler panel completely.
I don't like that look
I'm surprised
Franken-bu!
Ha! I like the wheel tubs more than the quarters on that one.
You may be able to Adjust the shifter interlock cable to make key go to off. I had one that was not going into park all the way and it was keeping it from shutting off
that's not it
Primered is best last year 2023 Jimmy had the same problem.on his truck it's a button on the left side of the steering colum that releases the key 🇺🇲
Right, not a lot of money for those but people do have a cult following for them on their forums. I have seen them restored, customized and/ or made in to low riders. They are a roomy car with that fast back, the Chevelles suffered elephantitis and detuning those years, more boat than muscle but they do have nice size and smooth ride. They have a coolness to them but most of them did not survive. My guess is that some of the stamped steel on those years was probably recycled steel, some of them could compete for rusting out the quickest with their very cheapest cars. Garage kept prime examples are rare so a cheap mild restore will certainly sell. Once again you have your hands full. I hope the build goes well and that you can make a few bucks on it if you decide to sell it.
Pull a moon roof of one of your old jeeps and put on this chevelle!
Might be difficult due to the bottom roof structure.
👍👍👍
Where the shifter would be on the column if it was a floor shift, have tried twisting to make sure it’s all the way up in the park position? I had a 73 Cutlass and the shifter messed up. I used that part of the column to shift it until I got time to fix it. If that’s the same. It might be reason the ignition doesn’t turn off
it's not that
With all the welding your facing, I HOPE you remove the front seats & rugs & insulation & console to prevent damage & "FIRE" from welding sparks..
Usually cars have a button on the left side of the steering colum that releases.the key to come out 🇺🇲
that's not it
Idk much about repairs but, you can probably cut out the glue/urethane with some brake cable wire.
well its hot can fry egg on sheet metal so hot paint drys before you can spray it or bugs stick to it soon so cold where the time go fast year
I don’t see the point of doing this car , but I hope I’m wrong . All the best !!!!!
Do you know how to adjust shift linkage if adjusted right key will work fine
take back to silver...
Landau means half vinyl top . Are you putting the vinyl back on. Just cut metal around windows and keep with car. No top no landau
Get. Window. . Hear. Dryer. Hit. Up glue
to be honest i sale them cars before weather has its time cash or gold is best thing
Wasted ten years sitting in the yard. Should have just blown a quick paint job on it and kept driving. It. Then rebondo and painted again ten years ago. Some times it’s all about sentimental value. The guy would have had his car back. Tractor paint was cheap. This car means nothing to you. Should have stayed painting the van. You jumped. Salt car . Some things are best small patched and kept as beach cars. They covered in salt spray anyways. 👍👍
It sat for 10 years waiting for Art to get body parts. He hadn't driven it for 20 years anyway.
@@clunkersandclassics I see. 👍
Punt this one.
Don.
't waste your time and effort.
Not crazy about this build, boring car. Looking forward to late 60s Camaro or another nova from early 60’s to early 70
Just watch and learn.
Have you seen the prices on those cars ? 1st Gen Camaro 3rd Gen Nova. This entire channel is about what you can accomplish on a budget.
You Are Joking, yes?
Why don't you start a Go Fund for old Lee so he can buy one of those High Dollar 60's project cars?
Could. Live. In. Sun
Don't waste all your time and effort. That both pieces is s***
Coolest most interesting content. Great video can't wait to see your progress
Thanks
We have alot of those types bodied in Mississippi sales cheap just saying a hell of less work than wat you are doing now so why are you doing like that just asking but you are doing a good job thow. ❤❤❤
