This is where you will find the many changes that have been made to get the Nova to where it is today..
Stage 1. This is the orignal version as it came from "The General" Motors Corp.
Stage 2. Doing some repair work!!
Stage 3 Blue at last.
Stage 4. Making changes.
Stage 5. Yenko version ( look alike )

Stage one
This is original color after repaint in 1986. My Nova came from the factory with the 307cid ( 200 hp--2bbl. carb ), 3 speed trans. --shifter in floor, manuel steering and manuel brakes. AM only radio, 3.08:1 single trac, 10 bolt rear, steel wheels and full size hubcaps. Just what you see here!!! Details on changes to follow.

Stage Two
FIRST AID NEEDED. Stage two--Rebuild. Small idea of how far down we went. These pictures are made in a friend's garage during the winter of '95--spring of '96. He is a guy that I worked with at General Electric Co.,before I retired. He rebuild's '64 1/2 thru '67 Mustangs in a frame up process. I build the engines for him (289 cid ). He did the complete restore and paint for me in an exchange for engines. Works great for both of us. This is a hobby for both of us!!

First Aid Was Needed

Fuzzy picture--rusty car, never know until you look under and into!!

Old pictures--only ones I have of this stage. The only sheet metal replaced was 19in. quarter panels on both sides+passenger side sail panel due to pre-'73 damage that had been filled with bondo. Small patch in driver side foor.

Big Operation but it was sucessful!!!!!!!

Not really ready for this yet..

Stage three
Finally "Blue". Incorrect wheels--'71 up rallye's without rings. Lapis (med.) Blue (base-clear) '94 F *rd truck color.

Same day--different view

WANNA DANCE? I feel like it--sure glad that is finished!!

L-82 Copy
Harlan Sharp roller rockers, stock exaust manifolds--Weiand Stealth intake-- Edelbrock 1406 carb.

Stage four
Added 4in. "OUTLAW" hood by Harwood of Texas=="68 - 70" Rallye wheels.

Same change--just a front view.

Added Edelbrock Multi-point Fuel Injection.

STAGE FIVE

Front wheel stance--original springs--poly buskings. 14x7 Rallye with 195/70x14 Goodyear Eagle ST (3 1/2in, backspaced)

Just a different angle!!
