1968 Malibu

[Joker2017]

Hi, new here to the site. Just bought my first Chevelle. I have been dreaming of owning one since I was a kid. I finally bought one! I am a long time shade tree mechanic with minimal automotive schooling. I worked as a mechanic for two years before joining the military! Been in for 13 years and thanks to Uncle Sam I now have my Chevelle.
It will be a complete restore (not nessesarily to stock) I have already stripped the nasty yellow paint job. I am down to bare metal and can now start repairing rust spots and holes. I am doing everything in my garage. When I complete the filler work (until I can afford new panels/patches) I plan to prime it. Is there any problem priming with spray cans? For now it will stay in primer for no more than a year before I replace the fenders and use patch panels on the quarters. I am looking to get it so that I can enjoy it (drive) until the day comes to but the panels.
Being my first project I am sure many questions are to come. Thanks for an amazing site for Chevelle lovers like myself!
