What's the story on the car??

lol@ Bill http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Nova Jed]

Well, that is my project that I have been working on since last July. It's a no special car that I now have 3/4's of the body work done on. It was an original 6 and I'm converting it to a 425hp 350 with a 4spd. I am trying to get more pics of it up on here! Ugh! I'm a little new at the picture thing, so bare with me. LOL

[Nova Jed]

Try this....

[Nova Jed]

I picked the thing up for a few bucks and I knew Nova's aren't getting any cheaper or easier to find. So I figured I'd have some more fun!

[Nova Jed]

This is my clone!

[Nova Jed]

I could post more of the project if you want? I just don't want to make anyone mad with all the boring stuff like cutting and welding pics.

[VintageMusclecar]

I seriously doubt you're gonna make anyone mad with build pics. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Eric

[Nova Jed]

You asked for it!

[VintageMusclecar]

LOL!

uh oh...http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Nova Jed]

Wheelhouse fixed. Now Goodmark has repro's. If it would have happened a yr sooner.

[Nova Jed]

MORE

[Nova Jed]

I have to remind y'all that I'm 27 and I'm doing this stuff all on my own. I have 4 Nova's, a 55 Bel-Air and a 69 Camaro. So I am indeed made for this site! My dad has more pics on his camera that he is going to send me. Once you see the other pictures, you won't believe that it is the same car. I had to build a rotisserie for the thing because I wasn't going to let the underbody go untouched. I have picked up so many tips off of this site from all of you guys on what to look for, as far as markings and such, that I had to try it at least once. It might not be a Motion or a COPO or an SS396er or 427, but I'm gonna have fun with it.

[Nova Jed]

HA HA HA HA AHA! Well, let's get him really going. I think most of the Yenko Nova crowd can identify that original color on my project can't you? Yep that's right, it's Gobi Beige. YUK! With original (gold) cloth interior to boot. Double YUK! I thought about restoring it to it's original colors and then shook my head and said NAH!

If that's your idea of fun - stop by - I've got a couple of projects behind the garage you can have a ball with!!
http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Keep the shots coming - love to see the build ups and then finished product!

[Keith Tedford]

When you get that car done, you will have indeed earned your stripes. I went through most of what you have doing our '72 Lemans Sport. I'm just starting the body on our '69 that I bought new. After this car I don't want to see any more projects. Getting too old I guess. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif Nice to see the young lads getting into the old cars too. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Nova Jed]

Oh, yeah? What do you have? ha ha If you would see what I have done to that car, you wouldn't beleive it. Wait, that's right, you are the "Professor of Media Archives". I'm sure you have some pictures.

[Nova Jed]

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I haven't shaking this "disease" yet. If it were just a strip and repaint, it might be too boring for me. That's just how I am. I need a challenge. I love learning the "art" of restoration. I wish the Supercar Workshop would post more pics of what they do because that is the kind of stuff the interests me. I have the utmost respect for what they can do!

[Schonyenko2]

A suggestion. FWIW. Replace the qtr all the way up to the original lead line. It takes a little more time, but is well worth the effort in the end. JMHO.

Belair thinks Pink Floyd is a flacid male member. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Nova Jed]

These were the 80% quarters. I bought them before they had the repops with the full sail panel. Trust me, I found out on a 71 chevelle how nice a job it becomes with the full sail panel.

I did all of that work since this past Memorial Day.

[Dog427435]

Quite an accomplishment!
That really must be your idea of fun.
Looks Great! Keep it coming -

[Nova Jed]

Eat breath and sleep cars! I just want one that is worth my "total" effort. Not that getting them back on the road isn't an accomplishemnt, but I want something special. And it won't leave me until it's pryed from my dead cold hand. Like that Hurst Nova. Where is that thing????

[Nova Jed]

This is what happens when you huff too many fumes!

[Nova Jed]

The search is over. I have found a good used pass. side door with very minimal rust. I haven't posted about the car in a while and I have just about all of the body work finished. Pics soon to come.

Love the comment Andy that had me rolling when I read it! But here is an amazing door I picked up off of a 71 Ventura.
http://www.yenko.net/attachments/309009-Junkyarddoor.jpg
The door bottom and inside corners are perfect, except for a little hole on the inside front. When I take it off again I will take some more pics.

[Nova Jed]

Haven't posted about the car in a month. Been raiding junkyards and taking trips in search of parts. Picked up a floorshift column, and stripped the door and finished the bodywork to that. Cut the 4sp hole in the floor and got some leads on a dash bezel and some kick panel vents. The bodywork should be finished very soon and hope to have the car in epoxy by the end of next week. I don't think I will make Gettysburg, but I'm going to try!

[Nova Jed]

I have new pics!

[Nova Jed]

Thanks guys! I have had more time to get this baby moving along! I can't wait to spray the black on the underbody! Then do a little dusting of body color to dupe the fact. overspray. Woo hooo!

[Salvatore]

Looks real good Jed I. I can see you are definetly a true nova guy. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Like Camarojoe said once, I'm saving another PA rot box from the crusher.

So you've already got or planning on getting one of the A&A style stinger hoods?.

Amd is the Goebi really out...for sure?.

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Nova Jed]

I have a flat hood for this one. And the Gobi is out. I just bought all of the Dark Blue cloth and vinyl for the seats and they are up at the shop now. Too late for the Gold and Gobi. I thought about it long and hard and just couldn't do it.

[Nova Jed]

Just a small update. The car is ready for wet sanding and paint. It looks so good with even just primer on it!

I just checked my seats out at the upholstery shop and they look awsome. I have waited 13 yrs to do this color and style interior. I won't be able to take any pictures of them yet, because there was a little problem with the fabric that was sent to me. The fabric company is going to make good on the mix up, but it will be atleast 3-4 weeks until I can pick up the finished seats. I am so glad that I planned ahead and I am really excited for the finished product.

[Nova Jed]

Here are a picture of my seats after almost a year. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj88/NovaJed/100_0066.jpg

I'm going to be making a new thread on this about this Nova, after a long nap. Stay tuned!

A nap sounds pretty good right about now. 97 degrees in Seattle-Tacoma and me with no home a/c. WhadanidiotIam.

Backyard, shade tree, comfy deck chair, snooze.

I just wanted to bump this up again.
