Haven't done much to the car recently. I did get a steering wheel in, also have a fiberglass dash is ordered and will be here in the next few weeks.

Fiberglass dash came in today, gonna try to mock it up this week. Any ideas on mounting this thing?

its completely flat, not a single tab or anything 😂 I think i'm gonna weld tabs along the bottom of the windshield and one on each side and use dzus fasteners, 4 or 5 in total.
Mocked up the dash last night, really happy with how it is turning out, just need to permanently secure it and make a support bracket of some sort for the instrument cluster.

Haven't touched the Malibu much lately, been trying to finish up my third gen since it's so close. But i started making a panel for gauges in the stock cluster housing. Also I got some Trick Chassis frame braces in. I'll probably have the cluster and dash actually mounted this week.

grinder and paint will make it what it ain't 😂 gonna start fixing some of the few rotted out spots on the body.

Over the weekend I went to the Carlisle swap meet and found a manual gear box for $25 not positive if it would even bolt into the car but I bought it anyways. I cleaned it up real good, extracted a broken bolt, re-greased it and put some paint on it, now i just need to get the right pitman arm and steering joint for it.
