I bought some Nova parts from a different Seattle area seller. Complete 70 (I think) subframe, to save for another 69 Camaro project, along with some misc Nova sheetmetal.
May I assume all four control arms are the same as 69 Camaro ???????????

Control arms are the same.

Marlin....Thanks for your knowledge....Any opinion on Powder Coating these control arms in the appropriate shade of black, versus traditional painting ????????

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I think that p/coating is a personal preference, the colors available these days is endless - so you won't have a problem finding the shade of black that you like. It depends on your goals with the car - if it's correctness, then I think it's best to go with paint, if it's durability, then nothing beats p/coating. The downside of p/coating for correctness is that it looks 'fat' compared to paint.

I have just recently acquired an original 69 Nova Bucket seat, red interior from an original 396 Nova and don't have the seat tracks for the buckets. The interior is very nice considering it had been stored for the last 24 yrs. I was just wondering if the the Chevelle repro seat tracts would fit them, since they were all basically the same seats, or if they were floor pan and car specific. Does anyone have a good used set? I dont like the fact that the repros are irridated gold. I just purcheased my forth nova. It's a 69 and I was just wondering what color combinations are more appealing to a buyer?

Isn't it great how some year Camaros will interchange with Nova?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

The seats are the same, but the tracks are different. It's possible to redrill the holes in the Chevelle tracks for the Nova floor plan, but it's difficult to get everything to align properly - and still have the seat square to the dash. The Nova seat tracks are very expensive, I've seen them sell for $700+.

I think your 'new' '69 Nova color/interior combo sounds just fine the way it is! It's nice to see two-tone paint on a Nova.

Well, thanks for the info Marlin. I have tried to match up the seat tracks from a bench seat but they were too short and I did consider getting the kit to mount the seats to the floor like the originals. I like the original color combo too, but its a tough decision for me. As the price for the tracks, ugh! Thats almost half of what I paid for the car. In any event, you might see it around town. Thanks!
