Your `69 Nova is awesome.

It`s always a pleasant surprise to see a main-streamer build.

Very few builders take on the "base line model" car subject matter, hence that's what makes these builds so different. In fact the majority of kited model cars were never the major portion of Detroit`s "Big Three" production sales. The big block, high performance cars were relatively a small percentage of the cars most of us saw on the streets. Main-streamers with small engine displacements, bench seats, column shift, base-line hub caps, A.M. radio, manual breaks/steering, no air conditioning, no chrome, no frills "Grocery Getter`s" were what most people bought from the dealers in the day. in fact base-line models or close to it are what most people still buy today.

Reminds me of my first car, it was a base line model six cylinder `63 Nova, automatic, plaid bench seat, manual tune A.M. radio, cigarette lighter, heater but no air conditioning, crank windows with manual steering,manual brakes and rubber floor mates. It was affordable basic transportation to school, prom, church, work and to take my date out.
