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

[L78_Nova]

Spring 2022, time to get the summer cars home. Hate to put it away but have some stuff I can work on for the summer. Garage is a horrendous mess. There was a spring flood threat where I store my 70 Chevelle project so it had to come home for a few weeks (black fender). Have to get the Nova back on the tires. Masking paper is from painting the trunk... totally disappointed will expand later (still too fresh).



First up, get the engine crane to lift the back off the rotisserie. You can see the front frame horns are on huge jackstands so I will need to do this in steps.



Set the back down onto riser blocks.



Remove the framework.





Lift the front end off of the jackstands



You can see in this photo I had finished up the steering linkage, brake and fuel lines



And ready for storage
