changed my a-arms with another stock set that i painted and put new ball joints in. also is a picture of the perfect trunk lid i acquired by trading the header panel. now i kinked my fuel line from pump to carb when i changed the fuel filter. next on my to-do list is get it back on the ground and change the valve cover gaskets and oil. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG03021.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG03021.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG03031.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG03031.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG03061.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG03061.JPG) ---

finally back on the ground! i got all the old frozen e-brake cables out and started putting the new ones in. still looking for a header panel for 1980-1981 malibus and el caminos, and a core support for '78-'81. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG0308.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG0308.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG0309.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG0309.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG0310.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SIMG0310.JPG) ---

good news, got my header panel and core support. no pics yet, im still fixing the one crack in the header. now all i have to do is put the front end back on and its ready to go. who would inspect it without a smog pump? i’m asking because the previous owner decided to remove it.
