73-77 Chevy Malibu, Chevelle, Laguna questions. No big rush on this

I have a 1976 chevy malibu. I want to install the upper quarter panel window louvers that I bought a while back. It looks to me that I need to remove the inside rear quarter plastics to be able to drill the holes to mount it with screws. It also looks to me that I will have to cut the mounts on the back of the louvers down about 3/4" to make it fit my non-Laguna model. I am also looking try and find a resouce for an aftermarket Laguna frontend and accessories for it If you have any. I would eventually like to make my malibu into a Laguna S-3 clone, or at least the outer looks of one. If I am wrong about any of this Please let me know.....Thanks everyone    

i don't have any real solution to your dilemma but can sympathize
i have a 75 monte carlo, finding sheet metal and weather-stripping among other items, has been an adventure
my suggestion is to use your favorite search engine and search several variations of a similar theme...76 Laguna, Chevrolet Laguna, Laguna S-3, Laguna parts, etc
be sure to have plenty of time and a good supply of your favorite beverage
these seam to be the forgotten cars of the mid-70's, everything built before and immediately after (78-86 A/G) is soooo much more popular...and all the parts cars in my area have already been used up for figure-8 racing  

Try a place called Memory Lane it's located in So-Cal They have a good selection of Laguna parts. I need to go there and get the correct Tail lights for my 74 ,Right now I have 76 Tail lights & Trunk on my 74 A-Body. Everyone thinks it's a 76 until they look & the front Lights,Then they just scratch their heads  

does Memory Lane have a website?  

I'm pretty sure they do or try ........obsolete chevy  

Hey, will you be selling those 76 Tail lights when u get 74s? because i myself have a 76 S-3 Laguna and recently got into an accident on a badly maintained road... anyways Im lookin for all the back end parts Quarters ect. Thanks, My name is Geoff by the way  

I HAVE A LAGUNA FRONT CLIP WITH THE BUMPER PISTONS AND CORE SUPPORT WITH FRONT FENDERS IF INTERESTED IT WAS ON A 75 EL CAMINO I ALSO HAVE THE HOOD AND TWO REAR BUMPERS  

74 taillights wont just bolt up and for parts and lots of info on these cars go to G3GM.com and i may just have a complete 77 guna nose up for sale  

trunk lids on 74 diff from 76 also  

trunk lids on 74 diff from 76 also  

G3GM is a good site but you are 3 years too late with the info.


I just LOVE when new guys post to years old threads.
