Thanks everyone. Yes I just finished it up and it has about 400 miles on it so far. My father-in-law did a lot of the work and I used my 30 days of leave a year to come home to Ca and work on it.

My wife use to have and race a 71 Nova SS that she sold to a member on this site who recently rolled it. I won't say any names, but you know who you are.

Hi Joel,
Glad to see that you put your car on the profiles. I love the rotisserie picture...it looks as good on the bottom, as it does on top. Beautiful car!

Awesome Nova!!

I saw your Nova at GoodGuys when I was talking to Tim at Chris Alston's Chassisworks. I love the car man. You did a great job with it. I have their front clip and hope my car comes out as good as yours.

[nova7163]

thanks guys. I wish we didn't park out in BFE during Goodguys. We didn't even register in a catagory. I would have had a good chance in winning the young guns(25 and younger). Oh well...there is always next year.
