Re: 68 nova (body in white?)

The "body-in-white" terminology refers to purchasing a bare shell in primer with no drivetrain, no interior, no "bolt-ons" attached and no vin number or MSO. I don't know when the practice began, but I know of numerous 79-present Mustang drag cars that began as bodies-in-white, as well as several 3rd and 4th gen F-Bodies, so it seems to have been continuous since the 60's at least, and probably earlier.
