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.

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
