My new 1968 Nova L79 project.

Jed,
Sorry to say not much has been done. With only one day a week lately my progress has been slow. It’s all the small things that seem to consume all your time. I spent 6 hours on Sunday cleaning up my inner quarter window tracks and installing the exterior quarter window trim on both sides. Man the day just flew by. I have my quarter windows all cleaned up and ready to go into the car I just have to attach the guide to the end of each quarter window. Then onto the vent window assembly, rebuilding and installing them. I have all my brake and fuel lines in place. Actually to fire the car up all I need to do is install the distributor and exhaust. But I can’t do that until I get both fenders back onto the car. I have my Ac suit case at vintage air in FL they are checking everything out to make sure I am not going to have any problems. Once I get the suit case back and installed I can mount both front fenders. Then check my front bumper alignment to see if the sub frame needs any tweaking left to right. Once that is all set I will be able to install the exhaust. Hopefully by then I will have my dash all back together. We will see.
I keep bolting parts on slowly. I did just get an order back from the chrome shop on Friday. I had the original door handles vent window handles and front foil badge bezels re-chromed. Its nice knowing original parts are going to fit when you go to bolt them back on. I was able to re-use all my original bright trim around the door and quarter windows. I just de-anodized them and buffed the aluminum back to a nice shine. They came out real nice. I can’t wait to see the body side moldings on the car. In due time it will all come together.

I finished up the driver side glass and trim tonight. Very time consuming restoring all these pieces you will never see.
