My new 1968 Nova L79 project.

Thanks Jason ! I took Marlins advice on finding that. Wipe it with wax and grease remover, let it dry and spray lacquer clear over it to preserve it. As you can see, it works.

Well I think my drive shaft came out nice. I went with orange brown and yellow.

Jason...very nice job!!

I want to know who turned while you painted? Like the wheel action on the dolleys!

LOL... I figured you guys would like my wheel set up. Some times you just have to think out of the box. No need for help, I am a one man show.

[Nova Jed]

I need lessons Jason! Looks great!

Jed is Benny coming out to leabanon valley labor day weekend to race? If so you should go and you guys can stop by the shop to see the car?

[Nova Jed]

Not sure Jason? That would be fun.

I found something very interested on the L79 tonight. I would never think I would see a fiber optic wire on a 1968 nova. Was this common on GM cars in 1968? The fiber wire comes off the corner of the dash light over to the ash tray. When I pulled the dash out I seen this wire but never really looked at it until I broke the dash down over the weekend to clean everything up. I was shocked and thought it was a really neat option. On the 1968 nova ash tray which is a 1 year only part the fiber wire pushes into this little plastic tab. I guess when you pulled the ash tray out to clean the ashes out you would have to unplug this fiber from the ash tray housing. I have never seen this before at least on a 1968 nova.

i had a '68 nova that had the same setup. it had custom interior but i don't know if that makes a difference on the ashtray optic.
