What Paint is that , on the frame? It looks excellent shade of brown/silver.

Excellent work, as always, Tyrone! I'm tuned in for more to come, your builds always impress me. And this body style is maybe the nicest Nova.

Thanks Brad... I not decided on a color yet.. but I was thinking of a nice red paint job.. any ideas from any of you guys ??...

Red, Blue and Orange are very good colors for this body style of Nova. Yellow isn't bad either, like this Finnish Nova.

Thanks fellas, and NIko thanks for the pics.... I've started working on the engine... I got the distributor and wires done and have been doing a little painting... I've been giving this alclad thing a try again lately, and it seems to be going o.k. I used it on the headers, valve covers, pedals inside the car.. and the enigne ... I've also got the rack and pinion in, and I added bolt heads to the rear tubbs,, thanks for looking and comments welcome...

Not to put a damper on it, have you tried the windshield with the hood on it yet? It looks like the rear of the scoop is to far into the glass opening. Just something I noticed.

This is a awesome build!!!! Like where it is going, I'll be watching!!!!!

Tyrone You have a KILLER build in progress. One small thing I noticed is where you removed the wiper arms you should rescribe the cowl vent slots or fill them all in. Edgar

Thanks alot fellas.. I really appreciate the feedback...

Kerry.. I still have a bit of work still to do with the hood scoop combo... I just stopped where I am with that until I get the front glass cut out and fitted, then I can make sure it sits flush against the windshield... I think I'm gonna end having to trim the opening a little more towards the front of the cowl hood area...

Edgar.. you're right... Ive been debating on which way to go.. I think I'm gonna fill it in...

Charlie.. thanks alot man.. you're products are what make these nitrous engines come to life..I love your demon carbs..and everything else too.. If you look closely I have your bolt head details.. all over here too...
