While I wait for the surfacer to dry/cure on the Skyline, I got the 64 Malibu back on the bench to see if I can get it completed, not much to do just BMF and final exterior detail work.

That 64 Malibu is looking mighty fine Luke.  Love that gloss black.  I'm going with gloss black on my 53 Chevy build and can only hope it looks half as good as yours.

Looking good there Luke.  

Thanks Bob, I cant wait to see the colour applied.

But being winter here its going to take longer for the surfacer to fully cure 🙁

Lucky I have a decent back log of other builds already painted I can bring into rotation at the bench to pass the time while I wait.

Appreciate the kind words Bob, I'm pretty happy how the Malibu has turned out, will look the part on the shelf with all my other black Lowriders.

You'll be right mate, your last black paint job turned out great. So you know what to do and how to get results. 53 will be killer black with all the chrome trim.

Malibu pretty much completed.

Need to BMF the hood trim, do a final clean then should be under glass asap.

Engine placement roughed in. Still need to sort out the fire wall.

Nothing like hacking into already painted parts, few scratches and chips that will need repairing.

Fire wall sorted. Just needs to be cleaned up and prepared for surfacer and paint. Now all the modifications are done I can start working towards getting it finished.

G’day Luke, this is looking great. I’ll be checking in on your progress on it. I’m still chipping away at my HQ build.

Hey Stu, thanks mate.

Will be making some good progress from now until completion.

Hope to see an update of your HQ build soon.

Everything looks like it's falling into place Luke.  Nice work dude.

Thanks Bob, bit of styrene cutting and shut'n got the job done in the end. Going to start piecing it all together over the next few days.
