1972 Chevelle Malibu Restoration Timeline
"Sheet Metal"

September 2008 to current
Page 1

Once the body was bead blasted you could see the big picture. Needless to say there was a lot more metal work to be done than expected. Lots of poor old patching and the obvious rust! So far we have replaced the rear seat floor pans, left cowl, shifter hump and currently replacing the trunk pan and left and right quarter panels. More pictures to come and a list of all metal work to be performed. All sheet metal work was performed by Justin Newpower a Jaguar, Range Rover and now Chevelle Specialist in Phoenix Arizona. If you have a project out here in Az use the contact link to get in touch with Justin.
