Re: 67 nova project
God I hate to admit it, but I have to agree with Howie! (that's scary)
That would be Very Cool. I love the Gasser Look; nose-in-the-air, fenderwell headers, Moon tank.........  And BY ALL MEANS, Keep the window art!   Have you seen the Oct. issue of Hot Rod yet? The '55 Olds is killer. I used to have a '55 Olds hardtop, but couldn't wait to trade it for a '57 Chevy. Should have kept it!

Re: 67 nova project
I would restore it just as is now.
Like everyone said above... leave it vintage style!

The guy that owns that car took it on the Power Tour this year and drove it (with "White" knuckles) all the way.....How Cool is That!!! Ken

Re: 67 nova project
I talked to the guy the owned the bar that sponsored the car and he is going to look and see if he can find some pictures. Still trying to track down the owner. Here is some interesting reading about the town of Watts Oklahoma that I ran across. speed trap

Re: 67 nova project
Now we´re talking !
Keep the frontaxle, and try to find out what type of car it came from, so that I can get one to.

Re: 67 nova project
I read the history of Watts, OK
 Restore it back to the race car, but leave off the town name - someone might come looking for it to fulfill a lien

Re: 67 nova project
for sure the strait front axle is staying....I think I will redo the mounting to the frame though.....I would like to feel safer than that looks!
Mixed feelings on the steering arm....sure looks like a cobbled up mess....but we have seen several pictures of others that look just like that...just don't know how safe that would be if I decided to run it very hard. Got to love this video. nova gasser
