1977 Malibu Classic Build #8. Rusty Door Swap. Paint door panels. Dye Seats.

I start a new build with a 1977 Malibu Classic that has been severely rusted out in the past. It pretty much needs a complete body swap, so let's get started! In this video I finish swapping 2 doors swap from manual to power, replace door pins and bushings and paint the door jamb. I also paint the door panels with vinyl paint and dye the rear seat.

Negative Nelly commenters are not doing their own work, you do great work and put a lot of heart and soul in each build. Screw those lazy no goods.

[@longjohn77]

I prefer your no nonsense, no b.s. approach.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@MichaelCushnahan-qb9yg]

You industry experience and the way you approach the whole restoration is what makes your channel so interesting.
Keep it coming.

[@randyhoepker5528]

You made some fast progress on this car’s body. It has a ways to go but you’re getting there!

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

DO NOT let other peoples opinion affect your way of doing things ! The people that are being negative probably NEVER even used a wrench . Your cars are very collectable . I guess jealousy is the word of the day . Cheers Man !

[@rickloera9468]

I really enjoy your videos. I am glad you are fixing this car up. Of all of the Colonade cars, I like these the best. Keep up the good work, and if people dont like the videos. Instead of complaining about your videos, watch the videos that you like. No one is forcing you to watch your videos.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@josephentilla2179]

I like the way you put the cars you work on back to real steel condition and working and removing the rust instead of just plastering Bondo and calling it done.. Looking forward to seeing this 70's classic back on the road when its done. Your doing a great job in my book!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@michaelbristol6467]

Who's the man with the master plan, that's my main man 50 grand Lee. Woooooo baby! 😉✌

[@trayhine4578]

On that Malibu dont worry about the filler panels. You can tuck the bumpers and problem solved. I did my 76 Cutlass that way. If you ever dye seats again get a sprayer for gardens and do your mix. Adhesive promoter on the dash and paint it. Great videos and educational for us guys wanting advice.

[@johnrittle4165]

I personally think you don’t half ass anything. You do things like I do, the best you can and on the cheap. Ain’t nothing wrong with that, and I learn a lot from watching you.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@mnanninga4247]

I hope that dye holds. It sure does make the interior look like new again. Buy 1 more can of the spray and do the center console. Keep it up and to hell with the negative comments, they are just jealous.

[@anthonyalessi74]

Great episode! I just painted my 74 Malibu’s inner fenders & backside of the outer fenders. Budget repair doesn’t mean half-ass, full restorations start at 2-3x the car’s value and go sharply up from there. Great job explaining why you choose each method of repair and how to do them.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@danerodriguez3154]

I watch a lot of other guys that do the will it run videos. Then they half-ass the rest of the vehicle just good enough to sell it and move on to the next car and video. But I look forward to seeing your videos they most. The full tear down and rebuild that you do is much more educational and entertaining than the others. Everything you do is top notch to me! These are cars that look great, and you can daily drive. Keep the vids coming!

[@clunkersandclassics]

[@toddjohnston4788]

Thanks for doing it right...i will try that dye..hope it doesn't bleed but we will find out 😊

[@akeattaanorm]

Add the fabric dye to the warm hot water and put it in a spray bottle spray it on the upholstery and then let it dry for a couple days and then rinse it off with the pressure washer I hope you see this comment and I wish you the best

[@cindyh8822]

The seats look 10x better than before. The spray bottle was a good idea. I was thinking of using a mini paint roller. I think it would give you deeper penetration. Car looks awesome. Can’t wait for the paint job. You do you! Don’t worry about what others say. As long as you’re satisfied , that’s all that matters. 👍🏻

[@greasy8eyes]

Lee is teaching y'all step by step how to have a cool car on a budget. Hard work does pay you back if you know how to do it and source the parts paint etc. In my opinion Lee is doing a good job on the cheap. Oh spray the dye on with a spray bottle scrub it in with a scrub brush set in sun all day long on a hot day rinse off with cold water wash with soap then rinse with cold water set in sun again to dry and it shouldn't transfer or bleed. If memory serves right used to have to add vinegar to rit dye guess they changed it and how have a good one dude and keep doing what you are doing .tell the cork sniffers to jump off a cliff lol.

Some do the long ones without that much work. Restoration work is taxing without having to film and explain the what and the why. I like the long vids. when i have the time.

[@clunkersandclassics]

[@chriscurry236]

Dixie Restoration Depot is the place that carries the rear bumper filler,they don't have a Ebay store, they sell through their own website 👍 nice work as always Lee, as for the keyboard restorers, they have never done this stuff in their lives! Keep doing what you are doing Lee, you do quality work 👍The rit dye will do just fine,it is made to dye washable fabric, which I have used it for years without any dye fade or coming off, just let it dry in the sun and Then wipe with a cloth to get rid of the transfer that is left as a powder on the too of the seat.

[@jeffdickens7019]

I can't help but believe that car spent some time up north in the salt belt 😜

[@longjohn77]

Salt air will rot your car just as bad, if not worse from the inside out

[@clunkersandclassics]

It's never been out of Texas. Salt air from the Texas beaches killed it.

[@michaelbristol6467]

Yeah salt air kills cars I know a guy that lives on myrtle beach and his cars are all rust buckets!

[@weshenry9592]

When use the dye we let it dry power wash it apply 2 or 3 coats with the power washing that stops it from rubbing off.

[@wayneprater8960]

Lee get some of the old Scotchguard spray for fabric water proofing that might keep your dye from bleeding it’s a silicone barrier made by 3M. It might work to keep the dye from rubbing off.

[@kurtistraux8435]

Spray all the interior material that you dye with heavy coats of 3m Scotchgard, it will seal it in..

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

Build coming along. I'm always open to others' opinions if they are knowledgeable, or helpful as to doing something a different way (such as you want to use white lithium grease on those door tracks, won't gum up like bearing grease) but just ignore those who want to criticize, they are the type that fail at everything they do. I'm enjoying the build.

I’ve had decent luck with the dupli color cloth and vinyl in a rattle can. You’ve probably used it before I’m sure. I used it on my truck seat in 2013. I just had to redo it last year. It wasn’t aweful but I had redone other stuff and wanted to make it back nice looking. I’ve only used black though.

[@keithroute8906]

Looking good, hopefully that dye works. It might. I got lucky using some blue dye on a car one time, I don’t recall the brand. It dried good and it didn’t get on clothes or skin so hopefully that red won’t.

Fluid Film works well in some applications, I just can't stand the smell. Por-15 I use on everything including wood, it even fills in small pin holes in metal, it stopped a leak on one of my boats.
