I have never seen Autumn Gold look Critrus Green before. Talk about shading! Maybes its just me? Those are most likely the best pictures I have seen on a e-bay auction. Crisp and clear. I do not know anything about Novas, (sorry Tom, Frank, Joe, Marlin, Bob ect.) but it sure looks nice.

Looks like it's nicely done....should be a ball to drive...

Re: L78 Nova
 

OK, here goes. First, I saw some photos of this car awhile back while the resto was going on, so the subject is not new. Overall the car is decent and certainly in better shape than most. The negatives are as follows: redlines not available in 70 and the tire style is completely wrong, should at least be wide-ovals, no seat belts that I see, no smog or smog manifolds, dipstick is painted bright orange, detailing on front sub-frame is starting to go down hill already, hood hinges painted gray??, etc. Now for the positive and constructive part of the program: why don't people restoring these cars ask for help or info from those of us who have the information. I would be willing to share photos and info with anyone anytime if it can help them with a Nova resto. I'm sure others would also and that includes other cars, like Camaro and Chevelle, too. This hobby needs to have an open exchange of tech info and resto knowledge. In the end we all benefit with better quality cars.

Yeah but you're a little biased!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

I agree; it's a cool color. Wish I were a player. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: L78 Nova
 

The stuff noted as negatives seems to be pretty trival... you can replate hood hinges, add seatbelts, smog, tires, and reapint a dipstick tube in an afternoon.

I think just about any car can be nitpicked if thats the goal.
