"Ouch" That's quite a dressing down you've given me and my Nova. I stated in my auction that there may be some things that are not exactly to factory finish. Redlines: I had a brand new set of 5 7.75's, I put them on, I like'em. I will put any set of tires the new owners wants on the car free of charge. Seat Belts: I have the seats belts but I don't like the way they look laying around on the seats and the shoulder harnesses always seem to come off the clip and hit me in the head. Smog: You're right no smog system. Dipstick: That one got by me. Sub-Frame: I restored this car to drive not sit and I drive it so I guess that's the trade off. Hood Hinges: powder coated gray not painted. "Now for the positive" I didn't hear any. But that's OK I know the criticism is all in good fun or at least should be. In fact I did ask for and received a ton of help from people on and off this site and I have thanked them many times. The bottom line is even though I'm not a Nova expert I tried to do as quality a restoration as I could. More importantly I enjoyed the hell out of restoring and now driving this car. Hopefully my next Nova will be better than decent.
