1967 Chevrolet Malibu - Mundane to Rockstar



After we adjusted the hood, we opened and closed it repeatedly and lubed the pivot points on the hinges and the hood latch with engine oil for a smooth operation.

The SS grille kit from OPG came with the center grille, two headlight bezels, outer grille extensions, and a front hood edge molding. The '67 Chevelle Super Sport kit included an SS 396 grille emblem, Chevelle emblem for the left front of the hood, Super Sport quarter panel nameplates, and an SS 396 rear panel emblem. One thing to note is that a '67 Super Sport grille isn't only painted differently, but it's also stamped differently from a Malibu's grille. The end vertical openings on an SS grille are open (arrows) whereas they're solid on the Malibu grille.

To position the rear Super Sport emblem, we matched it up so that horizontal area between the words Super and Sport was positioned generally in line with the center tri-section of the rear red plastic taillight lens (arrows).

The rear portion of each emblem should also measure about 71/48 inch away from the front of the rear taillight bezel. This is true for both sides.

Extra care must be taken when installing the front 396 Turbo-Jet emblems. In order to avoid any potential misalignment, we made a quick template by placing a piece of clean paper over the bottom of the emblem and allowing the four studs to pierce the paper. We then roughly cut around the emblem and removed the paper. Using the template, we were able to position it onto the fender so that the rear-facing chrome block's bottom edge of the 396 emblem was even with the top of the wheel opening. The front space of the emblem's forward-facing chrome block should be placed about 511/42 inches from the front edge of the fender. With the template in place we marked the holes with a felt-tip pen, drilled four 31/416-inch holes, and installed the emblem.
