Welcome Grady. Your car sure looks like a "Members Ride" waiting to happen! What do you say Bruce?! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Bruce
Glad you asked. I will be working on a write up about the car and the resto with Grady's input too. Pic's to follow with the story. Will PM you later on how you want the pictures.

Re: Fall Vette-Fest 68-70 HiPo Nova Display

Thanks for all of the nice comments. I am looking forward to getting this car to a few shows for all to see.
I can not thank Mike "m22mike" enough for all of his hard work and attention to detail. His skills are fantastic, I think the car shows that. Again Mike Thank You. Grady

Re: Fall Vette-Fest 68-70 HiPo Nova Display

Fast and furious Mike!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Keep you shorts on Boy's ,I will work on it today https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

At my age now I do not do "Fast and Furious" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Thanks Grady for the opprotunity to do such a deserving car. I am spoiled now for when the next one comes along.
I know all will agree when you see all the Pic's of this car.
I will give Bruce alot of the build photos with the rest of the story.
Grady was a great car guy to work with on this project. He never tried to cut corners and always wanted to keep the Nova as correct as possible. As was evident with all the nice NOS stuff he got for the car.
Do not look for this car to be sold anytime soon, Grady is not a car flipper, but a ture collector.
Someday the Nova will be parked next to it's big brother.

Re: Fall Vette-Fest 68-70 HiPo Nova Display

------Grady,,,Wow!!!! This Nova is beeeeutiful!!! Good job guys. I think more hi-po Novas were delivered to Ohio than any other state. That doesnt mean there are more left cause we used them hard, hard, hard. Cant wait to see this one in person.......Bill S

Re: Fall Vette-Fest 68-70 HiPo Nova Display

Re: Fall Vette-Fest 68-70 HiPo Nova Display

I tell you; I've been surfing through some earlier threads on Novas and this Nova Showcase might be one of the Best that VetteFest has ever pulled together. Great idea Brian!

DAMN, there's some NICE stuff in this gathering!!!!! The lowly Nova is gonna kick some butt! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Make sure you got plenty of mops handy Mr. Ashton. There's gonna be some https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif to clean up!

Re: Fall Vette-Fest 68-70 HiPo Nova Display

Brian- Any updates to the list??

Re: Fall Vette-Fest 68-70 HiPo Nova Display

Lock up the bourbon, hide all the redheads....Wilma is coming to Vette Fest https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif I have made all the arrangements for the trip to the windy city. Tibor and Cumby have sent me a list with proper car show behavior rules and regulations to follow. Looking forward to seeing and meeting the "heavy hitters" from the SYC https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif The only car I could find to bring was an old, weather beaten, black 70 4 speed L78 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif It doesn't shine as much as some of the fancy restored cars, but it's all I have.

Anyway, it hails from the Chicago area (Shaver Chevrolet) so I hope you will accept it for what it is. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif Benny said I have to behave myself since this is my first really big show...I only hope Sammy will be there to lend some moral support https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Just realized, the only thing I haven't done is send Bob A. the registraton form and $$ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

I'm really glad the car has a block heater....I heard it gets cold in Chicago https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Nah, not true. The show has moved to West Chicago. It's a LOT warmer out West. Just ask Bruce. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Fall Vette-Fest 68-70 HiPo Nova Display

This is great news, but I have to say, I am concerned; if you are getting tips on car show behavior from Cumby and Tibor, we're all in for it.

What next...tips from Belair62 and Barnhardt?
