The original dash was welded in,, ??? Was it fun to wire or pull heater ?? No, There will be a glove box door, to match the cluster bezel, with access,, Any way it still will have more room to get to than a Vette !!!!

You done yet? Hell, you have done more in the last 2 months than I have done in 2 years:hail:

Awesome work.Love these chevyII's.:thumbsup: Scott

Wow!!! That is funny how I missed this. I spend a lot of time on this site looking at builds and to see someone talk about mine is really funny. I'm glad what we have printed so far has given others ideas. Super Chevy will be running the rest of my build Project Getaway in roughly 8-10 more issues in the coming months. We have been stacking the stories so it will be in every issue until complete.

I also started a post on here about it. I will be showing a lot of little things that the we couldn't show in the Magazine issues due to space. Check it out.

Good luck with your build and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Hood fitment
 

Has anyone had a problem with cowl hood fitting ?? to much arch along fenders ???

You going to have to play like a surgeon.... "cut to cure"?

Yeah, no aftermarket hood fits.

You're luck if an original hood fits. :)

Ls2 Chevy II
 

I am building a 66 also had the same problems hood didn't fit the fenders and the quarter panels were a 1/4 inch short on the door gaps I blamed it on after market parts glad to see I was not alone. It looks like you cut the quarter and filled it in? If I ever get computer smart I will post pictures us Nova guys have to stick together.

COOP

The picture of hood is after it was mauled with a 4lb hammer and a 4x4 to de-arch it,, Yes it will have some filler, but either possum stomp it or maul it with a hammer !!! The link to my old Camaro shows after the possum stomping and mauling !!!https://lateral-g.net/members/jennings/

Search over on "Steve's Nova Site" for an answer to this question.

As Greg Weld said cut to cure !!! that has been done, the aftermarket parts for a nova are no better than for a camaro-etc,. !! Nothing a little welding and cutting won't cure,, but it just adds moe work to get the gaps right,,

Evercoat "Slick Sand""
 

What feedback do ya'll have with Slick Sand ??

I used it with good results, easy to sand and builds nicely. I think I had to use a 2.2 tip to get it to spray. Economical alternative to high build primer. Keep in mind I am a novice so my feedback value is limited.

I also used a 2.2 tip,, it worked fine !! Sands Slick !!! Will definetly use again.. Amazing build and toughness ,,,

I know that this note is too late for the hood on this car but I had the same issue with my hood not matching the curvature of the fenders on my 68 Camaro, too. I tried the bend and twist method first and all it got me was a dented hood.

The advise I got from a restoration guru was to drill out the spot welds along the offending areas then push the sheet metal or hood frame up or down until the curvature matches. The method worked really well for me and was much easier then trying to bend and twist the whole hood. Maybe this will help someone else before he grabs the 4-lb hammer.:willy:

Try Featherfill G2 black, builds same ,sands much easier

The edge off the hood on the Camaro comes down at a 90 and is spot welded to the inner structure where the Nova hood is rolled back under as a door skin is to the inner frame, it would have to be completely removed from the inner support !Hope you understand my lingo ??

Yep. Funny thing is... I have a 65 nova in the garage at my mother's house. It's been so long since I've opened the hood, I couldn't tell you what it looks like. After I finish my '68, the '65 is next. :unibrow:

Hey,,I could be wrong about that,it's been since 05 since I had my Camaro-69.. but it wouldn't be the first time ?? Anyway that sounded like a good fix !!! repo parts suck !! thanks for looking at my build and problems !! Roger J

If it sands easier, I will try it,, I ordered 2gal,, will order the G2 on the final blocks,, can you get it in gray ??Haven't looked yet !! Thanks Roger J

Off the rack & inthe Floor !!
 

Finally it's off the rack, Undercoated then Clearcoated,,Should make it easier to clean,, Had to strip the old Epoxy ?? Found the same problems on the top and deck lid that was on the doors,, spider web streaks of rust!!! Sanded it back to bare metal now the DTM Epoxy,, Now I know what's there !! It's IN THE WEEDS !! ----http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/109_4879.jpghttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/109_4877.jpghttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/109_4883.jpghttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/109_4874.jpghttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/109_4878.jpghttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/109_4880.jpg

Looking Good..

Nice looking project!!!

I'm wanting to cut 3/4" out if the a-pillars on my 67 nova. How much work is involved and what do you run into that was unexpected?

More than you would think !! Door latch is on outside of glass, this will have to be changed,, to move to inside of door because glass will run length of door, fuzzies will not work and no way of mounting then unless you make inner top of door removable so you can screw them in,,I'm using fuzzie's thar are wider because ,with the stainless trim gone the gap is wider, The door latch was the fun part, had a shaft with bushing made to go behind the glass channel. there is enough clearance to work with stock latch, you are going to need a long channel for the front of door ,so glass will be stable, you could use your old vent window channel,, If I can help ?? send phone # , Roger J

Wow! Sounds a little confusing. Haha. I want to know more. I'll send you a pm.

In process of welding up 57 Ford dash. drastic improvement !!Will post pics later,,
