1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard

[L78_Nova]

Original hood on the car was rusted along the front edge. A friend had a California Nova on which he had installed a cowl hood so... with some persuasion and cash I had a solid California hood. Good news and bad... "It is ready to block and paint" Umm, well looks like someone may have been a little aggressive when originally stripped so some extra work was definitely required.
As purchased

First hit with the blocking

In the mud work. Hoods are difficult, large flimsy areas require a huge spread of filler and it takes forever to block off with minimal pressure and lots of fresh paper.

Sealed up in epoxy

Underside re-sprayed in satin black
