79 Malibu- Stocker-Stick Shift

[jimmyparker]

Really nice build, you and your Dad do great work.

If you haven't addressed the front brakes yet when Jim Cassels ordered front brakes for his 78 Malibu he found out that there was a difference between 78 spindles and 79 spindles, he bought brakes from Mark Williams for a 79 and ran into a problem, I can't remember what the difference was but just remember there was a problem he had to work thru.

HA! Wish we would of posted this earlier. Yeah that was quite the ordeal finding out this car had a spindle from a 78 on one side and a 79 on the other. The outer bearing was much smaller on the 78. We were able to get everything straightened out though.
