Default Re: Bill Thomas Nova Conversion

Yep, that's it, Retribution. Being involved with these straight axles cars, I've actually run across several of these Bill Thomas equipped Chevy II's. It's one of the nicer straight axle conversions fror early Novas and he really sold alot of them after the articles in Hot Rod and Popular Hot Rodding.

They were sold Nationally, out of the Nickey Parts Catalog, as well.
