Thumbs up First rate 68....

Paid a visit to site member jason L78 today and got to see his super nice 68 L78 Nova. This car is very nice and he deserves a lot of credit for doing a great job with the resto.
Watch out for this green machine when it comes your way...

Very nice! I like it alot and am glad you did the gold interior. Did the thick valve cover gaskets solve the problem with the roller rockers?

Gaskets worked just fine. Had a problem with one of the rockers hitting one of the mounting tabs on valve cover. This is were the bolt goes threw. I used a small hammer to fix the problem. But over all everything went well. And for toms collection it is amazing and he told me he is bringing his collection to the Nova nationals in July, this is worth the trip for anyone. You should see a ton of L78 cars their. Hopefully Mine.
