✔ off the todo list.
Your getting good at this.
Mark that off the List. 🔖 
Looks like it's definitely got a slant back in the picture. Could that be by design for trans clearance of some type? Or, are the bolt mounting holes at same level from body pan? Just asking?
Impressive for sure. Always heard only dumb question is the one not asked. So, what's the benefit of the Chassis Paint in addition to the raptor liner?
kimmer - been falling your build. Now to when you started, awesome Job your doing. Quality and detail is first class.
Patient? You asking us to be patient?
Those colors will be super. Thanks for going ahead and telling us. Patience is not one of my virtues. Heck I even opened one of my Christmas gifts today.
New Distributor and coil. Wanted to replace HEI unit. Got car running but the back wires on HEI cap rubbing/wedged against firewall. Today figuring out where to mount coil as I don't want it attached to firewall. Keeping engine bay "clean" is PIA.
Doing it right and to "your" standards takes time. You can be proud of what you've done and the end results.
With your developed skills, learned knowledge and acquired tools you can do restorations on the side. Then again maybe not.

Good News - You made progress on the Nova. Bad News - Your Out of the inheritance pool.
Whew, my faith in you has been restored. I got carried away.
The color . Agree with both you and xxdabroxx on everything else.
The "white" colors are much better looking long after wash/wax.

Hopefully it'll fit the bill. Google Searching lots easier than Fabrication !!!
Dash vents are way better looking. More of a custom look and not something added on. That is something I would like to do one of these days. For now mine are the standard under dash vintage module.
While your doing your evaporator "evaluation" make sure to include the routing of heater hoses and A/C lines to your unit. If coming through the firewall into cab, not too big a deal but if your thinking of under the fenders, whole other ballgame.

I did use the sure fit kit originally. When I changed front clip to CBR I redid the A/C connection account I wanted everything I could out of the engine bay. My kit for the 67 had the heater hoses going through the oem location on firewall and A/C lines also (mine was not an A/C car).
I couldn't find any pictures I took of how I did it but it's almost like these that I remember Nova66mussl posted (hope he doesn't mind me using them). I did mount the dryer on firewall just to the left of where the lines go through on passenger side under the fenders. Again mine is 67 and this on a 66.
Also I changed the A/C lines and connections to EZ-Clip types as they are smaller OD and you can make them up as you go. Not trying to change the direction of your build, it's awesome as is, just something to think about in the process.

Air outlets on the evaporator I have are not on the top either. They are on the left side toward driver's side of unit. What I did for the top mounting location was to weld in a stud on the firewall (cab side) when I did the firewall clean up. Not visible from engine bay.
Nice. What about some closed foam in black over the yellow. Everything else is top shelf.
Concerning this area. Where does the water that may enter down the rear side windows drain out?
