Is it Real, is it Photoshop or is it Lipstick???

Made you look!! And no, this is not about Sarah Palin!! Actually this is a shameless ploy to show you my "baby" with new "shoes"!! I just put them on this past week and am still getting used to them. When I bought the car in '69, the redlines didn't even last a week before I put on the American Torque-Thrusts and reversed the tires to black. I'm kinda liking the look. Thanks for looking, even though I "tricked" you guys into it.

Looks good Joe! A real gem of a nova! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Is it Real, is it Photoshop or is it Lipstick???

Mean Trick. Just for that you owe me one Silver Nova with Redlines.

Re: Is it Real, is it Photoshop or is it Lipstick?

Nice Joe! Looks real good. But, I do see some lipstick around the circumference of those tires. I think it may be Sarah's shade https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif !!!!

Re: Is it Real, is it Photoshop or is it Lipstick?

That`s one fine Nova.....whats the tire size combo, front and rear?

Re: Is it Real, is it Photoshop or is it Lipstick?

Joe...are the tow tabs back on yet? You know that I will check when we come out at Thanksgiving time... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

BTW...you could put any wheel and tire combo on your Nova...and it would still look good to me! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Is it Real, is it Photoshop or is it Lipstick?

I would like to see Sarah riding in that car!! Might be a good campaign ad!! I don't know which would be better looking, her or the car??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Is it Real, is it Photoshop or is it Lipstick???

They look great ! I like the Torque Thrusts as well but also like the redlines on steel wheels alot. Someone mentioned the Tow tabs..... I am a fan of those also, when are they going back on? Great Nova https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif.

Hey Joe, I was wondering something. I may have overlooked it in the write up of your Nova but what gauges were you using in the 70's? I saw the pictures with the current ones.

So, when do the TTs go back on? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Well Dennis, I think the TT's might be in storage for a while longer!! And the reason is..........................

Tire size. You see, the fronts are 215-70-14 and the rears are 275-60-15. The TT's have a big positive (?) offset and the tires would rub real bad.

I was a real idiot in the '70's Tommy because that's all I had - "idiot lights". Yep, I hate to admit it, what with drag racing and all. I just relied on a tach and idiot lights. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Hey Bruce, I did have them powder coated a few weeks ago, along with my old Ansen traction bars. I'm still debating with myself about what to do!!

Joey: Is it to much to ask to see the rubber ban you have under the Novist hood? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Is it Real, is it Photoshop or is it Lipstick???

Hi Joe,
The car looks great with the redlines and Dog Dish. I like it both ways. You and I need to show up at Fudds some night with both Novas. Take care and see you soon.

Dave,
What night do you guys go to Fuddruckers? and where is it located? The coffee and cars deal is every Saturday morning right? It would be cool to cruise down and hang with you and Joe.
