That's awesome. With a little time I bet his memories will come back since he's thinking about it.

If original sheetmetal, get pics of the "week stamps" on cowl, door inners, quarters, fenders, firewall, etc. Going to be a stunning car when done!

Fortunate the rear is still with the car - god would that be a difficult one to find!

Is the bulkhead wire fitting on the firewall for the reverse lights?

Any luck on finding past owners or history?

I'm helping a friend research a day2 L34 Nova that purchased from Nickey, we might have found the name of a long time owner.

No updates on drivetrain or ownership history but here are more photos of the car. I did make use of my son's chalk to reveal some stamps/castings as best I could.

Looking closer the front drum backing plates are not original. Who swaps backing plates? The subframe is a '67 only unit.

The master cylinder is coded for manual drums and dated 206.

The booster appears to be stamped 8515 and dated 82 which would be March 23rd 1967.

Also, I found a "P" Ink stamp on the front LH cowl panel and what appears to be factory markings inside the lower front valence. (not sure why images flipped)

I'm still gathering sheetmetal and glass dates.

I have the OE front brakes off my 67. I’m never going to use them, I was gonna Chuck (no pun intended) them. They’re yours, just pay the shipping.
