L78...
 
Great job...looks like a lot of hard work.

My first Nova was a 1970 Forest Green L78...bench seat/4spd.

Nice work, and thank you for posting and documenting all this.

I hope you don't mind if I go back a few pages and capture some questions:

What is this "old JB Weld trick" of which you speak?

Do you all know if these little posts are available as a repair?

My Chevelle is missing a couple, apparently from the factory.

Yes - had to replace a few on my Nova ... I'll have to look at my records and see where I got them from ... Craig

They are available from Classic Nova (pop rivet style) and SS396 (screw in style)

They are available, you need a stud welder and the appropriate end to install them. They’re a couple YouTube videos out there.

If a window channel is pitted up in some areas (but no perforations) a guy could use all metal filler or something like JB weld as a filler layer to smooth it out. If it is sanded out and sealed over with paint you will be able to get an adequate seal to the butyl for glass install. (It is more durable and water resistant than bondo but not a great repair for larger damage)
