I can appreciate the work and dedication involved and I applaud the effort to save another one from the crusher. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Gotta love another Nova saved - especially a hatchback, they are pretty cool with that camping tent option. Typical rust for the NE.

Re: Steve Ford's 73 Chevy Nova Hatchback
 

Could anyone give me an idea if they ever made SS Hatchbacks? I purposely took pictures of the firewall because I saw what seems to be two S's marked on there.

If I remember correctly from what I have researched, I don't think there were any numbers on SS 73 Hatchbacks. I have found little details that the car did come with a bright trim around the windows and someone "smoothed" them out and I think it was just a Custom Hatchback. There were grinding marks on the sail panels from where the emblems were in the middle of them and the drip moldings were taken off as well.

Again, the trim tag wasn't on the car. Just speculation here. I think that the hardest part of this car is gonna be the 20+hrs that I am gonna spend on getting a donor trunk floor, found one already an hour away, and replacing it. Other then that, I have about 50hrs into it!

Keep up the good work Jed-I! You are doing it for the little guy in the hobby. I am sure the outcome will be real nice! Steve will have a nice go fast nova to toy around in when finished. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Ok M, where is the info on the numbers??? I know that from 72 on that one of the letters designated wether or not it was an SS, but which one is the Hatchback? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Steve Ford's 73 Chevy Nova Hatchback
 

Hey, thanks guys! I think that I found some new motivation with the picutures. They do kinda look cool when they are all done up. Hmmm I wonder if I can talk him into letting me paint in and put the stripes on it if it is in fact as SS.
