Nova Help NEEDED PLEASE!

[Nova Jed]

I am looking for any detailed pictures of a 68-72 Nova with the deluxe rocker trim moldings. I was looking to see how the semi-gloss black was painted from the factory. All I have to work with is an older restoration and they seemed to eliminate the upper molding. They left the rocker molding intact to cover up what was left of the rocker panel intself. (Glad I know how to cut and weld) Evidence in the fender and the remnants of the trim studs on the door tell me that the car originally came with the upper moldings. And any help with where to find the clips to install the moldings.

I am also looking for any pictures of a 735 or 737 interior out of a 69 or 70 Nova. Just want to make sure what I have is correct.

Thanks a million.

Jed, there was a great article in Nova Times a few years back showing the install and paint application for the lower rocker moldings and trim. I'll try to post some pics of a couple of our cars that have it....may be easier to email them to you, since the files are probably too big. As for the interior stuff...the 737(n/a in 1970) was a deluxe blue bucket seat and the 735 a std. blue cloth. Are you working on 2 different cars or just looking at options...the std. interior would have different door panels and a rubber floor mat.

Thanks Tom. Did the black stop at the edges of the door but part of the rocker sill was painted black on the inside jam? I am not 100% sure how it was? This is my 1st Nova that has ever had the deluxe trim. I am working on a 69 Nova that was originally Glacier Blue with a White top and 735 interior. I know the aftermarket doesn't supply presewn cloth seatcovers and only offers the 736 or 737, both 69 and 70. I want to keep the blue interior as standard as possible without having covers made or door panels.

I may also change the exterior colors to Fathom Blue and Astro Blue? 70 colors, but Dusk blue and Glacier blue are almost the same. Any opinions?

The color does wrap around inside the sill...contact Wayne at NNN for the pics or what issue it was in...you may have the magazine already...you are a member, yes

I can take some close ups for you if you need them...let me know. SMS probably has the fabric...any good shop can do the seats. As for door panels...I know you can get black std....they could always be dyed, I guess.
