I ran into a guy in Livonia, MI who was talking about the car. Apparently it was pretty well known in the metro Detroit area. Cool car.

oops Not the same car as the Chicago car. One in Chicago never had a vinyl top.

Here are a few pics of the finished car. The paint is original and is real nice. Had to do alittle resto work in the engine compartment. Could not get around it. The car was sold new at Chumbley Chevrolet in Ypsilanti,Mi.I have a lot of paper work on this car. Would like to find some dealer items key chains,emblems ect.. Check it out . John

Tree and shed are probably buried under snow! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img] Awesome job on the Nova, it looks good out in the snow on a nice sunny winter day.

Beautiful car. Yep, Chumbley Chevrolet was less than 10 minutes from the Willow Run plant. The building still stands at 1180 E. Michigan Avenue.

John,
The car looks great and I expect nothing else from you. However, looking at the pics at the top of page #7 it appears like you cracked the plastic filler between the grill and bumper. Don't let it happen again! Lol
