I must be GOD!!! [/ QUOTE ] WOW, talk about Delusions of Grandeur!!! You're treading in Dangerous Territory Mr. Howie!!! ![]() Those of us who "Know" you might strongly disagree with that statement. ![]() My Sincere Congratulations too Tom! I just got the magazine yesterday, but heard about the feature from our local Witch a couple of days ago. Good write-up, Cool shots, Great Car, and an even Greater Owner. (Could I get my copy autographed??? )

Thanks guys (and gals). FINALLY was able to get a copy. A couple of typos, but overall very well done. You can tell McClurg has been at this magazine thing for a number of years.
Also today, got my judging sheet back from Chevy Vettefest today, scored a 989. A big thank you to the VF judge, not only for the nice score, but for pointing out a couple of things that could use some attention.

Thanks, and a big thank you to Mo, Rob, Johnyycat, Otis, Jonathan, the guys at Mr. Dent and several others who lent a hand in the restoration. Also, the Nova guys, Brian, Schonye, Marlin, Allen and all the other folks who were kind enough to offer advice and help locate parts.
![]() Now that the Nova is done, time to find out what everyone knows about Yenko turbo Vegas. ![]()

Now thats a score I like hearing about since like yourself and Rob, I also am restoring one of my 68's by myself to see how it turns out. Seeing that someone can get such a high score and then end up with that high (Gold) of award makes me hope mine will turn out 1/2 as nice. Guess it goes to show that you dont have to spend 60K to get a car restored with repo parts and still take home the <font color="yellow"> GOLD </font>
Congrats!!! it was nice seeing the Car at SCR7.

Never once did any of the Nova guys refuse to offer advice and/or get on the phone to help me locate a hard to find part, even the ones who make their living restoring supercars. ![]() BTW, the boys are telling me, now that I had had the car judged, and won gold, it is time to drive (I think they mean race) it. Hum...
