Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
Jed not much work done in the past couple of weeks. My kids start thier spring sports so that is taking up a lot of my time for the next month or so. I do have the car on my body jig and the floor pans are all installed. Any new pictures of the car will be posted on the L79 registry in the future here is the link.
http://68l-79novaregistry.com/68_L-7...ners_Page.html Not to mention I promised a family friend I would put a drivers side floor pan in his 1964 chevy 2 nova super sport last year. So that is in my garage now. He has owned the car since 1969. It was his first car. A real nice car that had a floor patch years ago brazed it. What a pain in the A## to cut out. Not to mention the sparks from the cut off wheel. You have to be extra carefull doing this work with a finished car. LOL! Jason

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
Moving forward with the restoration. I have the rearend all rebuilt and detailed. The L79 is at the machine shop. The transmission should be back at the end of the week.I just got the car onto the rotisserie and media blasted the bottom today. I also had time to put some black epoxy and high build primer on it. Time to start sanding.

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
That 12-Bolt rear axle housing just looks frickin' unbelievable! No pits or anything. How'd you get that metal so smooth?

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
Actually the rear-end housing only had some very light pitting. The car was from Louisiana so it really never seen the harsh environments. Just a couple of coats of high build a small amount of filler and you end up with a very nice housing. It is all about how much time you put into it.

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
Finally got the bottom side all painted with the top coat. I just have to fade some blue over spray.
I am moving onto the sub-frame next. So when I get my motor back the sub-frame will be all ready for the motor and transmission.
