Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
The Nova looks great Zach ! You did a really nice job https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif.
Tommy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif |
Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
That Nova is awsome. I new I should have bought it when it was for sale. I had a Chuck Nuytten carburator on one of my cars. Best running carb I ever had.

Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
Great looking car, to bad the front marker light Emblems are Flipped the 396 should be in front of the light.

Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
Great dyno numbers...you will need those traction bars..wilma
|
Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
What do you know about Dyno numbers and traction bars? You don't drive over 50 when and if you drive those cars of yours at all. Its about time to unzip those sleeping blankets Tommy. I bet last year came and went and those poor novas stayed asleep ALL year. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif Poor cars! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
Sammy, I was just over at the shop to get something...and yes they are sleeping comfortably. Tomorrow's weather looks real nice...perhaps I will break the ice. Do you have a vehicle color choice in mind...?? Sorry, I don't have green.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
Wilma, take out the Cortez Silver. Should be nice and eyecatching in the sun!
|
Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
Hey Zach, Can I borrow the Nova for the Power Tour? I'll get the new drive train broke in real good for you !! I think you will like the Traction bars a lot better than the Ladder bars. The numbers on the engine are great !
Tommy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif |

With the prices of novas these days you can drive the tires off them. No need to worry about what they are worth. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Have some fun! |
Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
Zach,
Did a great job with the Nova,nice color.What color yellow did you paint those bars with,have a pair just like them and need to repaint mine. |
Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
The ladder bars are actually powdercoated. I can't remember the number but I have to go back over there Monday to pick some more stuff up and I can check.
Thanks for the continued compliments guys.... Tommy you can drive the car anytime. |
Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
Hey Zach do you want to sell the ladder bars
|
Re: Zach Carters 1968 Nova Finished!
