Project: Hot rodding a 69 Nova

[Bill Rose]

I haven't posted progress pis in a while. I got the frame out, it's blasted. I also have the body work on the frame done. I also have most of the front end parts painted. Still have to work on the control arms. Have to fix some minor pitting, then press all the bushings in. Here's some pics of the progress.










This is the original idler arm. Got all the paint off it, and detailed it. It's still tight.






Tom had put new brakes on the Nova, so I used them on the new 12 bolt.


I also got the high build primer on the frame today. It should be ready for the top coat, after another sanding session.

Bill, You make it look so easy. I have had projects in the past out here in California that have not got this far in 2 years.

Actually Mark, this one has been easy so far. It's been fun stuff like building the motor, trans, rear, and front end. The frame will be painted by tomorrow evening, then I can assemble the chassis. If it was like work, I wouldn't be doing it, I guess.

The worst is yet to come/undercoating removal.....yikes! But Albert is loaning me his rotisserie for the project. I hope to have that done in a couple weeks. Lots of car shows coming up, so I won't be able to get as much done. I'll keep plugging away until it's done.

Thanks for the feedback/more pics to come.
