Brian,
I remember the articles so I looked them up for everyone else. Nice restoration I must say! The car was a 69 Nova SS L78 and it was blue with a vinyl top. Car was listed as restored by Super Car Worshop. Owner at that time was listed as Stan. Does he still own it? I don't know the name of the person you referred to. The restoration articles started with the February 2000 issue of NNN and continued with the March, April, May and June issued and the June issue had the color photo on the cover.

Concerning the rear and gas tank I'll repeat what was said. The March issued showed a picture of the gas tank but it was only a partial picture. Do you or does the owner have any pictures you could post so we can see the entire gas tank? I'm curious now to see what it really looks like. I can only use my imagination with the assembly manual. I don't recall seeing one painted like that yet. (I don't make it to many car shows anymore.)

In the April issue it talked about how the rear end is painted. The yoke was left a natural color along with the brake lines. The center section was left a cast color and the axle tubes and backing plates were painted from underneath often leaving the top of the tubes bare steel. Do you have pictures again? Didn't show up too well in NNN. I'd like to see a picture of that also. I'm curious what you used for exhaust hangers? I'm currently trying to work with Gardner's to get the exact ones reproduced. Right now they're wrong. Soon hopefully. I just got a e-mail from them today and they were gonna get back to me with pricing. Anyone interest in pairs, PLEASE contact me. I also left you a PM Brian.
