Jason,
I must say, under the conditions it looks like you restored the car under you did one h&ll of a job! It takes a lot of patience and perseverance to stay at something like this and those are under ideal conditions. Hats off to you and the job you did. Congrats on the show finishes. That and the comments are what make it all worth the effort.
Rick

Very Nice!

Glad you left it the original color schemes. A little different venue.

Jason: Nice car and nice job. You should be very proud of you work. I notice that the picture of your motor on the stand has roller rockers. I see that with the motor in the car you have stock valve covers. Are the roller rockers running under the stock valve covers?

I have seen this car in person and it is fantastic. It is impressive in this day to see a young guy who really has what it takes! They only made 667 1968 L78 Novas and Jason's resto is a fitting tribute to the car. I know the future of the hobby is safe when we have guys like this who are part of it. Congratultions on a great job!

Exactly my sentiments.

Sequoia Green is another of the unique '68 colors. Often mistaken for Shadow Gray but obviously not when you see it up close. Cool Color and I love the contrasting interior.

Great Job; Great Car!

Jason,

Thanks for sharing the story on your cool L78 Nova. I, too like the fact that you kept it the original colors. Good luck on any future searches on owner history, too!
