Re: 69 SS nova big block car ????
 

That's cool stuff there.I've got my oldest grandson, same age as Ben I think, welding floors, and qtrs on now. We need these guys to keep the hobby/business alive.

Re: 69 SS nova big block car ????
 

Cool!

Still at it..... Once we get the welding / grinding work done we can install the gas tank and transition our efforts to firing it up! Ben likes the plasma cutter, although we moved to a cut off wheel on a grinder for precision. We are saving the original quarters, so made some strategic cuts on the tail light panel!

are those aluminum rear brake drums?

Yea! They are from a '78 Malibu, had them laying around so we slid them on. I broke the original drums to pieces hammering them off the rear - a lot of cursing & swearing as well! :grin:

:biggthumpup::biggthumpup:

Yea, it's taking a long time, but sure is cool!

That thing is going to be a killer Day Two ride.

I think it's going to ride like a brick!!! But, Ben will def maintain his 'coolest car in High School' reputation - his black '01 Trans Am, WS6 with Ram Air is cool, but a TR'd '69 Nova with ladders is unheard of these days!!!

The Nova is looking good , What colors of black did you use on the firewall & subframe? PPG or ?

Thanks

Did the guy from Sun Motor Cars have any luck researching the car?

We used PPG single stage gloss black with flattening agent - I'm not overly thrilled with the firewall, but the frame is nice and the core support / fender liners look really nice. It took us a few tries to get the mixing combination figured out.

Never heard from the guy at Sun Motors again, not surprising since I can't imagine the old chevy records from Sunderland are stashed 20 miles away at the Sun Benz/Porsche dealership....

Progress.... It's in the booth, should be rally green in a week or two.

We've been working on vinyl top moldings and just finished the body side moldings last night. Moving on to refinishing the original rear SS panel, original grill and headlight frames....

…

…. That Nova is looking Nice ...:flag:

...

Looking great, Marlin!

Very nice Marlin!! Are your side moldings tape?? They look it...

Wow...great stuff...and the best part-all done with your kids :)

Nope, we went with the paint since the car is pre-mid '70. The tape came right off once we hit it with a hair dryer....

Looks great!

Hi ,looking good, what paint are you using ?

Ppg

Well, it's back home and we put the first item back on since paint.....

Beautiful...

That Green with a black vinyl top is my favorite Nova color scheme.

Nice!

Like this?

Marlin...looks killer!:worship:

Nice...

You and your boys did a great job M. Really nice paint too.

That’s one of my favorite color combinations on a 69 nova. I’ve seen several rally green novas and they have all been 396 cars.i don’t recall ever seeing a sb rally green nova

Cha Ching...Liking the Rallye Green.

Can't wait to see more of it...

Awesome!

I’m Green with Envy!!!!

Freak'in Awsum !!!!!

…

… Now that's the Christmas Spirit … Love it :youguysrock:

Sort of, except we have body side moldings instead of the rocker moldings - oh, and a little something extra sticking through the hood! :grin:

That's killer!

Coming along nicely! Very cool.

Hell Yes!
