Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
If that is the actual case and was called on it I would just go with the swing-out bar myself...makes all the difference in the world getting in and out of many of these cars. Those high side bolsters on the aluminum seats compound the problem.

I am a long way from the car, but knowing me it was the cheapest!

Todd the car is a piece of art. Attention to detail is breath taking.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Been a rough week at work so far and I haven't gotten anything done. Autumn has been running parts around after school and I finally got in the shop for a couple hours today. Made the last ground strap, the starter cable, and it actually turned over for a second so that works. Started working on the brake pressure gauge so I can get the last flex hose made this week to button up the brake system.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
How does a 20 minute job take 3 hours! My wife simply calls it... car time.
Made a thread chase to work on the wheel stud threads, got them all straightened out. Put a new set of studs in and finally got the rear back together. Brakes are on, brake lines are on, pressure gauge is mounted and plumbed too. We started to run the fuel lines for the final time too. Autumn worked on the tank brackets and of coarse drilling and tapping the radiator for no other reason than why not change EVERYTHING since that is our current theme. Back at it tomorrow!
