Re: Steve Ford's 73 Chevy Nova Hatchback
 

I had seen on your original post about a resto and didn't know it was going to be raced https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif . I should have picked up on that with the smoothed firewall spots prior to my original reply. Another area he could loose some weight would be to remove the outer cowl sides but it looks like he might be retaining the heater.

Is the build going to have fiberglass parts on it ?. I bought fenders, doors, hood, hatchlid and bumpers from Glasstek years ago for another 73 Nova project of mine and the fit was not bad at all although I started modifying the doors so I could have crank up windows and be able to remove them fairly easily.

From what I have been told, he wants a street legal car as well. I'm sure everything is going to be all steel.

Do not attempt to adjust your screens or think that the picture is uploaded wrong. It's just hanging out to dry! [image]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/100_0430.jpg[/image]
