Hey Joe, I was wondering something. I may have overlooked it in the write up of your Nova but what gauges were you using in the 70's? I saw the pictures with the current ones.

Made you look!! And no, this is not about Sarah Palin!! Actually this is a shameless ploy to show you my "baby" with new "shoes"!! I just put them on this past week and am still getting used to them. When I bought the car in '69, the redlines didn't even last a week before I put on the American Torque-Thrusts and reversed the tires to black. I'm kinda liking the look. Thanks for looking, even though I "tricked" you guys into it.

Redlines on a Nova!

So, when do the TTs go back on?

Well Dennis, I think the TT's might be in storage for a while longer!! And the reason is..........................

That`s one fine Nova.....whats the tire size combo, front and rear?

Dan.

Tire size. You see, the fronts are 215-70-14 and the rears are 275-60-15. The TT's have a big positive (?) offset and the tires would rub real bad.

I was a real idiot in the '70's Tommy because that's all I had - "idiot lights". Yep, I hate to admit it, what with drag racing and all. I just relied on a tach and idiot lights.

Joe...are the tow tabs back on yet? You know that I will check when we come out at Thanksgiving time...

BTW...you could put any wheel and tire combo on your Nova...and it would still look good to me!

Hey Bruce, I did have them powder coated a few weeks ago, along with my old Ansen traction bars. I'm still debating with myself about what to do!!

That's kinda what I was thinking Bart!!

And thanks to everyone for the kind words.

Joey: Is it to much to ask to see the rubber ban you have under the Novist hood?

Hi Joe,
The car looks great with the redlines and Dog Dish. I like it both ways. You and I need to show up at Fudds some night with both Novas. Take care and see you soon.

Hey Frank, Are you asking about the engine? If so, you can see a lot more pics in the Member Rides section. It's just a "stocker"!!

Dave,
What night do you guys go to Fuddruckers? and where is it located? The coffee and cars deal is every Saturday morning right? It would be cool to cruise down and hang with you and Joe.
