A little over a year ago I bought a rustbucket of a Nova from AdamandEvil (dunno if anyone on here knows him)....anyways its just about done and I thought Id post a few pics for anyone interested....
Some pics of it before resto....(not really any to show how much rust there was but we replaced about every panel on the car)

^^ sounds pretty good running....real damn loud though. besides practically having straight pipes, it's got hooker headers, pete jackson gear drive and a pretty radical cam, i have some video of it running but it was before it had exhaust (just open headers).....ill work on getting it online when i get it loaded to my computer 1/19/2006 1:08:28 PM |

that is a beautiful '64 there.
i tried so hard to get dad to paint his '67 the same color but he went with '65 vette yellow instead (don't remember GM's designation for it).
it is a bitch and a half to get ahold of those fucking headlight bezels for a decent price for '62-'65s. 1/19/2006 10:33:02 PM |

Only video I have of it runnin as of now...Ill work on getting a better one.
But just about every penny that's gone into the Nova has been mine so what my parents do for a living doesn't really apply (but my mom is a high school teacher and my dad manages a boat dealership in Greensboro in case you were really wondering) 1/24/2006 3:02:55 PM |

Didn't take it as dickishness. Just more envy and a little humor. It's like those dudes on two guys garage or whatever with all the toys and all the space and I've got like a single carport, and the wife gets to use that!
anyway I'd like to see someone do a real automechanic show like "shadetree mechanic" where it's really shot under a tree, and the host spends 15 minutes looking for the screw he just lost in the grass! Now that's a reality show 1/25/2006 8:33:32 AM |
