Hey guys, a while back TMicheal (Tom Sweeten) started a thread about maybe forming a Northern Virginia Nova Club. Well, we did it! I wanted to invite any Nova owners and enthusiasts as well as all of the people that showed interest in the club out to our first official meeting of the Capital Nova Club.

We will be meeting this Saturday, June 13th at 1:30pm at Sterling Hotrods in Sterling, VA.

Here is our official website: www.CapitalNovas.com that has the meeting news and address along with the contact address of myself (Tom J, co-founder: [email protected]) and TMicheal (Tom Sweeten, co-founder).

I will be updating this thread and the website with future meeting info so check back and keep an eye on us.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, hit me up if you have any questions or need any more info!

Hey guys, here's your friendly reminder that tomorrow is the day! I've heard from a few people over PM so I hope everyone can make it....tomorrow, Saturday June 13th at 1:30pm in Sterling, VA at Sterling Hot Rods.

My photographer buddy will be coming with me to take pics of the Novas to be put up in the member's area on the site...www.CapitalNovas.com and we'll have a few business cards printed up that you can hand out to other Nova riders and friends in the area if you want.

See you there!

Damn it.............. just saw this. I ended up in Winchester at a freakin bead store w/ the wife!

 

[TMicheal]

A bead store and your just a couple of miles away <g>....

Hope you can make the next meeting in July. Great group of guys each meeting the number of Novas is doubling. We are talking about getting together one saturady afternoon and rolling to the Burger King in Nokesville for grins....

Thanks Tom for all of your hard work to pull this together...

I wanted to let you guys know that I had a good time on Saturday. It was fun hanging out at the shop, meeting the Capital Nova member’s and their cars. Hope to see more Nova's at the July meeting.

Thanks

Warrior, you missed out on this one but we have a meet up every month. If you don't check the forums enough then hit me up at [email protected] or check out the site at www.CapitalNovas.com for updated meet info. The July meet up date will be posted this week so make sure you schedule your bead and craft dates with the wife on different weekends!

Randy, great seeing you and Rodney up there...Rodney's ride is immaculate and sounds GREAT! Looking forward to seeing yours in July after the carb is done! I know Rodney doesn't do computers much but show him these pics...they will also be posted on the CapitalNovas.com site. All pics taken by Keith Grover, "official CNC photog"!

Rodney and his ride...I love the cream top and dark blue paint:

Another fisheye pic of Rodney's ride and the group....the Nova isn't really that short!

STRAIGHT:

This picture is great...Keith really got a good one here...although with that kind of subject it isn't that hard!:

Rodney up close and a good pic of that cream top:

Great group of guys we have so far...I hope we can spread the word and get some more Novas out there. I'll update ASAP with the next meet up date but it will definitely be sometime in mid-July.

And here are a couple pics of Tom Sweeten's (TMicheal) Nova (well, ONE of his several Novas...)

Tom Sweeten (TMicheal) in white, me (Tom_624) in black:

Me on the right and the group looking over my '74 project (tucked bumper, tucked exhaust):

Overall, a really good time and some really good people plus I was able to pull the stereo and speakers for replacement (finished the install today actually) and replace a leaky fuel line. Fun and progress...all I can ask for a club meet!

 

[Tom_624]

Ok, obviously I'm no good at posting pictures...I'll work on that.

But I wanted to get in here and update everyone that we have our next meet up date and time....so Warrior, schedule your bead shopping around this!

Pretty good turnout for only being around a couple months! I had a great time up there guys and those are some sweet pictures you got. I'll have to grab some of them and put them in the newsletter and on the site. I'd like to get a picture of each member standing in front of thier ride so we can post it in the member's section.

Meeting this Saturday, August 15th!

Hey all, this weekend is the weekend of the Capital Nova Club meeting! Saturday, August 15th at 1:30pm at the best damn hot rod shop in the area!

C'mon out and meet up with like minded people who share the Nova passion regardless of Gen or year or ride condition.

Got something awesome? Come show it off and check out what other people are doing to get further ideas for your ride.

Got a rolling project that's in a work in progress mode? Get he up here, there are a bunch of guys that have had that same issue and know how to help.

Nova not drivable to the show? Who cares. Show up, and listen to the guys that have cars like the ones you have....you can learn a ton of what and how to do stuff for the low low price of FREE.

We'll be grilling up some hotdogs and there will be some sodas and water to combat the August heat.
