Amazing how a good clean-up and the right wheel/tire combo can make an otherwise ho-hum car into a real looker http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon getting the Nova L78 World Tour at Tom's place yesterday and this is the only one I didn't see in person. Based on the rest of Tom and Karen's amazing collection I can only imagine what this one looks like in person http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Tom thanks again for a great day and thank Karen for the amazing hospitality that I thought was long gone in this day and age http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I'm interested. Let's discuss this 'good pay ....short hours' thing.

Paint is very nice...we spent a lot of time prepping the body...which was made much easier with "no rust" issues. There are 3 coats of Sherwin-Williams base coat and 2 coats of clear....we have a few touch ups to do and then final cleaning and buffing. It's not a 1000 point trailer queen, but it's no slouch either. We sprayed the vinyl top with 2 coats of SEM Black Landau Color Coat...it makes the top look brand new http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif All the original window trim cleaned up nice...added new emblems and bezels as needed...restored grill and headlite bezels...etc. The XG rallys really came out nice, we sprayed them with the argent silver formula and then Timmy cleared them...they should hold up well. Interior is very original...only thing I added was new carpet and GM sill plates. Hope to ahve it wrapped up by the weekend.

Thanks for the nice words...wilma
