Default finally a L78 back between the fenders

its been 40 years since this nova had a big block between the fenders,even a little longer since it had an L78 in it.I took some advice from a few members here and done the least paint work under the hood that I had to.

yep, looking mighty fine, chris. the engine, not you...just making sure there wasnt any confusion there...that would be awkward.

what he didnt mention is how cool this car is. local car with ownership history going back to at least the second owner whos still alive and kicking...all the while the car still has 100% original sheetmetal AND paint, and the paint still looks great!

super cool car. always a good day when you can reunite one of these old beasts with a solid lift motor [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
