Default My Day 2 Nova

Finally done working on my Nova. Thanks to this site and many pictures made it my own day 2 style. Not exactly everything period correct but close as I could get. Car is originally a 350 car, non-ss but with all the trim options and factory dual exhaust, which seems to be somewhat rare for a non-ss. Now has a '71 truck 402 and m21, with a Moser 12 bolt with 3.73 and detroit truetrac with 33 spline axles. Plan to put a GM crate engine in down the road. Original color is lemans blue, someday plan to paint it back, after my '62 bubble top is done. Here are a few pictures, thought I'd share. Been reading this site a couple years now and figured I'd post up my own car.

Here is a picture before the new wheels/tires.


With new MH nostalgia 29.5x7 and 6.70 firestone fronts.

Great looking Nova Mike!!

I like the chrome reverse wheels and the chrome headlight half covers. I had those covers on my 69 Nova..

Sweet looking Nova there Mike. One can never go wrong with black, and that looks real deep. Wheels and tires are a nice touch and so are those yellow bars. Any pictures of the interior?

Keep em' coming!
