I have been checking back about every 10 minutes. I forgot how nice your 70 Nova is Ken. I bet it sounds great.

Picked the car up this afternoon......I'll post some better pic's tomorrow...but...In a nutshell........It's better than I thought......Remember, I have new fenders so I didn't have the old ones blasted, but....the Doors,Hood, Trunk Lid, Rockers are all in great shape........the wheel openings in both quarters had rust and had been patched..........Gonna have to get some patch panels and repair them correctly.......Not as bad as I expected, but......I'm glad we decided to blast the body to really see what was under that "Survivor" Nu Yawk Paint.....LOL

Drivers Side







Passenger side....





Rear......





More Tomorrow..........

Got the car out of the trailer today to clean it up and strip the inside so when I get the call to take it to Pulera's for Body/Paint.....it will be ready......Again....there is good and bad after stripping.....but....I think there is more good than bad.....
Here are the bad pic's.....





And some good pic's......the doors are rust free except for a minor area that will require a little a little patch...



Doors and rockers are in great shape.....





Drivers side is perfecto.......





Floors......Minor surface rust only....



Found this &quot;Classic&quot; Nu Yawk spare tire cover.........



And I decided to store it in the Garbage can.....A fitting end..



And.....as I was working on the car today I could almost hear it telling me &quot;Thank You&quot; for getting me out of Nu Yawk....LOL
