Default Some L78 progress pics from bbbenny!

[ QUOTE ]
Hi Bruce, here's a few pics of my 69 L-78 Nova project car.

I said I would show the progess of it. I'll do a complete write up on it later on. The car will be at the Nova Nats in July, in Maryland. This will be the first show the car will be at. I have the original build sheet on the car.

Thanks benny

Benny you've got a deal. Here's the "in progress" pics that you wanted me to post...Send me the rest of the pics and a write up after you complete it!

The rest of you get a 'sneak peak' at some of Benny's handiwork!

That cover you see on the fender is really an electric blanket that he uses to keep that baby warm. It's cold up there at Benny's Mt Top Resort....maybe you should rejet the carb for the altitude! Good Luck with the project buddy. I know it will come out great!!

That engine was built the same day as mine! My P-O-P says T0417JH and the car would have engine serial 19N634182. I have been looking for my block for some time. Original owner said he dropped a valve and damaged a cylinder but did not remember what happened to the block.
