I like the car and it is very cool.

Nova looks good, but that '68 Chevelle makes me drool.

Made some more progress over the last couple weeks. Finished up the interior, put an oil and water temp gauge in, for the upcoming fire the new motor party!!

I got the fenders out. They needed some work. I repainted all the areas where the bolts had scratched the paint. Then sanded and buffed out the paint on both fenders.

I installed the wheel wells, before the fenders.

Installing the fenders. I put an old sheet down to prevent scratching. Then when the fender is in place, I remove it.

I took a ride to upstate NY to pick up the exhaust today.

Here's a couple shots of the car as it is now.

Next, I will get the exhaust installed, then the hood, and front bumper, headlight bezels, which I'm painting. I also will be sanding and buffing the doors and quarters, like I did with the fenders.

Then it's time to fire the motor. If that goes well, the Nova's a finished project.
