Re: Tone Blue
 

very nice Jed. Looks like you are getting better with age! That car needs to come to the MCACN as a Day-2 cruiser. Do I see a resurgence of novas coming?

Re: Tone Blue
 

Yea, Sammy. Im looking for some traction bars, an intake, and some shocks. Maybe some square flange four bolt headers?

Re: Tone Blue
 

Looking real nice Jed! I can't get enough of the Nova's on this site. Looking for an intake? Dual Quads?

Re: Tone Blue
 

Looking for an old Edelbrock dual plane single carb.

Re: Tone Blue
 

Something like this?

Looks like they made a a few different configs. I found this link over on the H.A.M.B. and will cut and paste one fellows comments here"

"...I've delved into this a whole lot. I have in my shop a C3B, C4B and C3BX. The intake runner layout is different on my C4B than the other two. It has a pair of real short runners, and a pair of real long runners. The carb base is a 4-hole base.
The C3B and C3Bx have a divided 2-opening plenum, with the notch for the Holley 3BBL carb in the plenum divider. The high and low side of the plenum floors is opposite the C4B, and the runners are more equal in length. It's clear this is the version the Performer was patterned after.
HOWEVER, I've also seen pics of a C3B WITHOUT the notch for the plenum, and I've seen pics of a C4B with a divided plenum and evenly spaced runners.
In short, I've seen every combination of plenum/carb pad with each designation.

AND, I've seen all of them with the fill tube going out the right, or going out the left, with the T-stat housing going the opposite way.

On the C3B I've got, and the C3BX, the only difference I see is a couple of different ports up front for the heater hoses (drilled/tapped versus the boss is there but not drilled), but more importantly, my C3BX has the boss for a choke mechanism cast into it. My C3B and C4B do not have those, and I haven't seen any of the others since to compare."


Here is the link for those who want to poke around.

As you can see in the picture, the re-pop piece isn't bad at all. Like I said before, it fit real well.

Re: Tone Blue
 

More pics.

I never knew that linkage had that many pieces!

The Column turned out very nicely.

Re: Tone Blue
 

Some interior parts. My friends at the local PPG store have one heck of an eye when it comes to matching paint. Thanks again Marty.

Re: Tone Blue
 

Doing great job,keep it up Jed.I like the hood too.

Re: Tone Blue
 

Coming together Jed-I

Re: Tone Blue
 

I really like that hood. Who makes those?

Re: Tone Blue
 

Ken, no one makes the hood that you can just put the insert in. That was a custom addition. But I will get you the info.

Are you saying my NOS Corvette trim won't fit my Stinger hood? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Tone Blue
 

Chris, it will fit. You have to make it fit. I have about 14hrs into that hood alone.

Re: Tone Blue
 

Thank you.

Re: Tone Blue
 

Oh yes !!

Re: Tone Blue
 

Excellent color choice!

Is there going to be a hood tach on this car? What's over on that side of the hood?

Re: Tone Blue
 

No problem Schoney!

Oh yes Paul! 5500 RPM redline Pontiac hood tach! Still dont have that. Trying to get the one with the glass face instead of the plastic, but they only work with points??? I know I have one that works with my electronic distributor. When did the repros change that feature???

Re: Tone Blue
 

Might be able to use one of those MSD conditioner boxes for the fix. What the heck, points aren't that bad anyways.

Re: Tone Blue
 

At 12:30 am, I don't know if it was from all the fumes, but I thought this was a pretty cool shot. I was in a sea of Fathom Blue! Ha, no pun intended.....

Re: Tone Blue
 

Just so you guys and gals don't think that I did this all in one night, the body was painted Friday into Saturday morning. 3 am Morning that is. I lucked out and didn't get any bugs in the paint, but did get a couple runs. If I only had a booth!

Re: Tone Blue
 

Here is one with the flash.
[img:center]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/100_1367.jpg[/img]

I want to give Dave Brunori, of Martix Automotive Systems, a HUUUGE thankyou for the paint for this car. Without his generosity, I don't think I would have gotten to paint it this quickly.
