Default L78...

Great job...looks like a lot of hard work.

My first Nova was a 1970 Forest Green L78...bench seat/4spd.

They are available, you need a stud welder and the appropriate end to install them. They’re a couple YouTube videos out there.

Ya, it's a looong road. Big project for a back yarder like myself but I normally don't put deadlines on so I just enjoy my pace (and wait on parts).

That said I just entered it for the local March 2023 car show so now it's hammer time !! (It is currently a roller again, will catch up on the posts).

Then MCACN 2023 ?!?
