Re: Nova stocker project.
 

Small point of interest Al - While working on the car this weekend I took the hood ornaments/louvers out of our car for some touch-up and found they weigh 4lbs apiece...like two bricks of lead sitting up there lol! I am seriously looking for some substitutes atm. :p

I have seen duplicates machined from aluminum.

Almost reason enough to buy a 3D copier. Can't believe I suggested that.

Nice Score Al

Keep coming with the pictures and stories.

Re: Nova stocker project.
 

Al, I don't know if you're planning to continue running the 327, but I believe that the hood louvers are correct only on Nova SS models, which came with a 350 or 396 only. With the crackdown on cowl hoods on 350/255 equipped '69 Camaros as an example, running the hood louvers may or may not create a future issue for you. (I realize that they are decorative only and not functional)

Nice car BTW!

Re: Nova stocker project.
 

Yeah, the hood louvers are going away....those are SS items only, anyway. Been trying to come up with a way to fill the holes w/o repainting the hood. Found a product today that should fill the bill.

Spent today drilling out the broken trunk lock cylinder (grrrrrr), remounted the fuel pump, tried a few different tire/wheel combos on the back, tidied up some wiring, finished welding up a transmission case brace, blah, blah, blah... -Al
