Are you sure you are not married to an Alien? Next thing you are going to say is that, she likes going to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. LOL Great catch by the way.

This is looking cool.

This turned out nice.

Sorry for your loss.

This is over the top.

Good idea with working on this at work. I like what you are doing with it.

Thanks for the explanation of the Turbo systems. Bill I was wondering if this part of your statement is why I have been told that turbo cars and trucks that have been ran hard should not just be shut down right away. (If good drainage isn't provided to the turbine bearing, early seizure may result due to "coking up", which is simply residual oil inside the bearing burning and solidifying after engine shut-down, due to the very high temperature of the turbine housing. This was a common failure mode for early turbo installations.) I have been told about this just did not know if it was an urban legend or bad info passed along.

Sweet looking Nova.

Very interesting, in a good way.

Looks great just the way it is.

I you sure that this is not a kit or a real truck? this is very nice. This is what most of us think our models will look like but rarely ever do.

I think a post car would sell. The 2 door sedan interior may not match the hardtop but the bodies use the same chassis. I guess what I am saying is with a different set of windows, bumpers and grill (if they are different) they only need to create a new body but that is the expensive part.

Mark you and me both on the 30. I picked up one and thought the same thing. Normally I pick up two as soon as I have the extra money. Not this time and I regret it. The chopped roof is what held me back from 2 the first time I had my hands on it. But now after seeing many built I like it or it passes as an ok chop for me.

I do not understand the crazy price on the 29 as they are still out there at some stores, though it is out of production. The 30 is out of production and sole so well that they were sold out very fast. Then the problem happened and now nothing for now.

Why not get a hose that will reach the window from the extra room. Just put it away when you are done painting. I understand that this is not an easy task to keep doing but you might be happier in the long run.

Looks great.

I second that Ray. I don't think they roll bars for anything other then looks back then. And it looks good.

The good points keep flowing, I like it. As far as a VIN number, if the car never hit the road as a driver it would not need one. The big three all have test tracks around here in Michigan and other States. They even send cars and trucks to Canada for cold weather testing. All of these cars and trucks have VIN'S now but back then they might not have. Three of GM'S show cars from the 50's were saved when the scrap yard owner did not want to scrap the works of art. One or two he did cut up but did not crush. What was required of the guy crushing the test cars was a signed paper that he crushed a red Chevy or whatever it was. Times were simpler back then. If it was a new car he would not have known what it was anyway. They are stories but I heard a few about the going's on around Detroit and the DownRiver area here. a ton of things that were scraped or in a dumpster found there way outside the fence. It wasn't that long ago that w hen all the stuff changed.

This was a very interesting read. A Pilot / test mule car more than likely. Is it a legit SS that is a good question. How many other SS cars have a body built 3 months before the Engine? Wouldn't this be a red flag any other time? Does the value come from the test mule or the SS option? It seems to me this is a hot car that should have never been sold but was, to some this just adds to the value.

Something about a wagon just sits in the right spot here. Maybe because we had a few around the house, and I drove one for a year.

Another nice looking trailer. I like your ramp placement better with this trailer.

Someone just did a Volare on here. Nothing wrong with a second one though. The newer Duster would be different.

Looking good.

Looks good Ray. Much better than mine did.

Yes Chris, sorry after rereading my post I forgot to put that info on there. Getting old. LOL Macomb Community College Sports & Expo center.
