Cool Nova! I like the look...

It stays in my garage, but I still need to get this fixed ASAP. I don't want to be at a car show and have some jack-wagon drive off in my baby. </div></div>

Along with what Steve said (I just did this in my new Z28) I also suggest buying a battery shut off and removing the connection peg entirely when parked.

This may be a dumb question, but is there any way they can key the new ignition key assembly to my key? I really don't like the idea of having 3 different keys for the car (ignition, door &amp; trunk), plus the keys I have are the originals that came with the car way back when.

Also, thank y'all for all the kind words about my car. I'm really loving it.

I meant I'm really loving/enjoying the car, not just the kind words.

Yes, a good locksmith can rekey your ignition and door locks too.

and forget about bias plys IF you want to drive it

some NEW radials will DRIVE way better than any bias ply will

and you might want to check the age of the tires that are on it. I will bet they are 10 years old or more

Do not say they have good tread, don't care. They may have. Spend the money and get NEW / fresh tires. Old tires are a ticking time bomb ... ESPECIALLY if you intend to DRIVE the car ...

Trust me, I know

Cool ride. My 2 cents. When you have a little spare time, shoot the grille filler panel argent unless you like it body color. The pro touring Nova guys tend to go body color, while the traditionalists stick with the original argent.
Either way, drive it like you stole it.
