I am glad to hear you plan on driving it. You are are doing such a great detailed job with it I was worried it was going to be a trailer queen.

Thanks for your comment. Looks like you have a nice Nova. I was looking for a 68 when I ran across my 72. I was born in 68 so I wanted that year Nova.

*drool* :cool:

I think that car has more **** in it than my house... :D

WOW very nice.It's hard to tell,pic #2 shows the body mount.Do you have the heavy metal body spacer installed on top of the rubber mount?Can't remember but it's either 1/4 or 3/8 thick steel.With out it the panels don't line up very. well.

WOW :eek: VERY VERY NICE!!

Ohh yea, really nice, it´s almost the same color i´m gonna paint mine, i´ll try to upload some pictures of the work on it......
:rolleyes::cool::yes:

I'm stealing it!! I was looking for a dark blue metallic and saw this on a trailblazer. Now I'm hooked. I will also be doing white stripes but no cowl hood and the car isn't that detailed. You live nowhere near me so I don't think we will run into each other.

Thanks Steve

Hope to get the engine installed this week and start to assemble the front clip next week. I will update the pictures as soon as this happens. My goal is to be behind the wheel in 3 weeks (cross my fingers). I wanted to make it to the Winstar Casino car show this weekend in the Nova. I may be there in the truck. Have you ever been to one of their shows?

Thanks for the info. I will check tomorrow.

Do a search under body shims.When I changed over to solid mounts I was unsure if I should keep them or not.Thanks to others I found they remain.I would hate to see you do all the beautiful work and have something so minor screw with you.

Just checked out your ride...great job and a very beautiful car, I drop back by soon and see how the progress goes...
good luck and take care!:D

Nice combination and separation of black and blue. Great color blue BTW.:yes:

Good lookin project, looks like it is coming together nicely. Off the wall question, but what did you use for your firewall seam sealer and what was your application technique? I am about to re-seal mine and yours has the look I am going for

Looks great. I would like to have a 2 inch cowl hood with some rally stripes. Is that a steel hood? Did you have a stencil for the stripes?

Yes it is a steel hood. The paint shop designed the stripes no stencils made

Thanks for looking.

Really nice car I never had the courage to go with that much of one color,engine,inner fenders, core support, dash, etc.... but it looks realy nice I like the simplicity of the engine compartment with just the right amount of chrome you hit it right on the head for me :yes:. Noticed the no bolt hole double hump heads too :yes::yes:. Nice car you should be proud.
