Default 1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard
Another long hiatus from posting however the project is coming along nicely

You may recall the homebuilt tow bar mods to the subframe which were repaired. Well the bumper brackets also met the fate of the torch during that tow bar modification. I had 3 damaged original brackets which were otherwise straight and solid and some only mediocre spare brackets. So I decided to use portions from the spares to repair the originals. Spliced on pieces to replace the torch damaged areas and tig welded back together. Sorry only tack-up pics of one bracket. Repaired three in all.

Around this time also got the seats back from having the covers installed. Legendary covers installed by local shop SFI
