Malibu fiberglass parts by Featherlite Composites.

New lightweight fiberglass body panels have arrived for the 1980 Malibu Xtreme Street race car. Some parts fit perfect, others...not so much. Adjusting the fit and installation did take some time to make sure the Dzus fasteners do their job at holding these panels on the car.

Stripped Down and Blasted

After pulling the frame off, there was some damage found, but before the repairs start it must be stripped of all hardware and electrical then sand blasted. This will bring the steel body down to bare metal unfortunately exposing weak areas in the sheet metal.
