My first car was also my first build. 1977 Chevy Malibu Classic with the 305.
Not mine.
Had a white ragtop, dual glass packs, 4 flat tires with mixed wheels, and a shoddy body and paint.
Stripped the ragtop, which opened up a 100+ hour job of body work alone. Plus I had to do all the rest of the car's body, and thats a BIG CAR.
Stripped trim, re-sealed all the glass, tuned up the engine (before I really knew anything about anything engine) fiberglassed a new dash and interior panels, put new floorboards in and painted her in the driveway O' Hoes "Performance Red", but with a white bass coat and not enough red and not enough clear. So she came out Dairy Queen Dilly Bar Red more or less. No, not pink. at all.
And here she is done. (But I traded it to a friend for the 94 Camaro, but for specific reasons.)
