Default 1970 Nova by Ambition Road

This is Michael's 70 Nova. It was his first car given to him by his dad, who purchased it in the 80's. Another shop started bodyworking it and hiding rust. Thankfully Michael had an idea that things weren't right, so he wasn't too shocked when we started digging out the filler. Michael gave us the green light to strip it and repair it correctly. We'll turn this into a solid roller for him with all the DSE goodies as well as one of our own firewalls.

I'd say you chose a very fitting name for the business if you're taking on projects like this one. Good luck, Aaron. Any idea what is planned for the car beyond the DSE goodies?

The customer brought the car to get it solid, gapped and ready for paint. We will be tucking bumpers and maybe do a few other things. He's still undecided on which engine he's going with but possibly an LT4.

We are moving in a few months to a larger shop and putting in a paint booth to keep that in house now. We would love to finish it turn key but that's up to him.
