My day 2 nova build

[cwc]

This is my original paint and vinyl top L78 4 speed car,it's a local car since 1972.i know all owners since then,original engine swapped for 427 in early 70's,427 was destroyed in 76 and replaced with a 365hp 327 and sidelined with broke ring and pinion in the 80's and stored in a dry barn on plastic.i have a fresh 69 L78 with a bigger solid cam,hooker super comps and a set of traction bars that were removed from a 69 yenko camaro that Dave Tinell restored many years ago

[Salvatore]

That's really a nice looking car. Sounds like a good plan you have with it.
That should run real well!

Nice piece to start with for sure. Keeps us updated.

this car was in bowling green ky back 1970 and owned by a local drag racer Pat Cassady, it wasn't his race car but a stock then driver. after that Leo Pate from my home county bought it from pat and it was still all original but soon became a local street legend, I even owned it at one time, this is a for sure l78 nova!!!!!! Great car Chris

My nova has finally seen the light of day.this car hasn't moved under its own power for 20+ years and no big block power for 40,til today. I still have to set timing,adjust carb and install gauges.i need to thank Nugeusa1,pusherman and Darell Cook for parts and moral support,oh and motivation
