Its the coolant overflow tank i ordered from Summit. It was too tall so I cut out an inch or so and did some bodywork to make it look good. Figured Id paint it body color to add a little something to it lol

yeah both side windows are scratched bad. They didnt have the little felt guides in place. Just metal which destroyed the glass

novaboy7272 04-27-2011 08:32 PM

Oh yeah i forgot about the windows. Dad will like that. I'm sure those window motor would go pretty soon anyways. ha

89 RS 04-29-2011 09:17 PM

waynieZ 04-30-2011 02:41 PM

70TWO NOVA 07-24-2011 08:39 PM

I know, I looked back on it the other day. Shes coming along slow but has sure come a long way. Itll be done before we know it!

70TWO NOVA 01-01-2012 04:55 PM

Finally made some progress on the car; started the fuel tank mods to put in an internal baffle and install the new aeromotive stealth fuel pump, almost done with the exhaust and wiring as well. I'll post some pics soon

bronx_peanut 04-29-2012 09:01 AM

Any new updates?

70TWO NOVA 05-01-2012 10:22 PM

Unfortunately not, life got kinda busy so I haven't had much time to work on it. I hope to get back at it soon, Ill keep you guys updated.

70TWO NOVA 10-31-2012 01:07 AM

Well, I finally got settled into the new house and the temps around here are becoming bearable enough to get out into the garage and work on the car. Ive made some small progress so far and hope to get some bigger hurdles cleared (fuel system, interior etc.) and pics up soon.

67XR7 10-31-2012 09:53 PM

I really like what you've done so far, it looks fantastic! I like the "sleeper" aspect of it too, that's always fun to drive. Have you considered the 17" N90 wheels from Year One?

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/...psa1bc393d.png

I had no idea the front bumper was so huge on those, how much does it weigh?

windycitychev 12-28-2012 06:21 AM

Real Sweet Project Going On There, Keep It Up

70TWO NOVA 12-28-2012 01:19 PM

yeah those wheels might look good actually, plus they are period correct Z28, hmm....

more gas tank work;
