The project continues...got all my control arms back yesterday from the shop. Clean and nice...all parts got primed and painted today for reassembly. There are a lot of parts in a Nova I cleaned and painted all day!! Just stopped long enough to look at what I got in my Easter basket The final assembly will have to wait until after Carlisle...hope to see some of you boys at the fair.

It has been awhile since the last update on the project car. Here is the latest report; found some great 15' steel wheels(with the help of Sammy) got them cleaned and painted today, 1st coat...GTO Don helped out with some vintage rubber that will go on those steel wheels: Goodyear polyglass F-70x15 fronts and H70x15 rear..should look awesome!! Still cleaning and painting lots of small parts but that stuff is pretty much done as of today. Rebuilt alternator and starter so there won't be any hassles. Found a date code correct 2000 distributor in my "parts pile" and got that spruced up and ready for action. Hope to finish engine related items this week and then concentrate on finishing suspension. 4.56 posi rear will get some fresh oil and lube along with the cool Day 2 finned cover...too many parts and too little time!
