I'm in the panhandle of Florida. Fort Walton beach

Nova looks great in the sunlight!! Now that I've seen the core support in the daylight, I think your idea of painting the front black is the way to go. This is the fun part of any build as it's getting into the home stretch.

Well as some of you know already. I got stationed over in Germany for three years. So hopefully I can pick up so good tips on the autocross and road courses over here. But I was debating on whether or not I should sell the car or store it while I was gone. Well I ended up buying a 24' enclosed trailer to store the car in so hopefully by the time I come back to the states there will be a pile or two of parts boxes in the trailer with the car.

Well the car made the trip to NY where it now sits for three years in the nice new trailer. And believe me I followed the trailer like a hawk all the way from Fl to NY.
But on another note. Today I ordered a few things both front & rear bumper & a new grill, and a few misc things like new mirrors, door handles, lock set.

Next is a new fuel tank. Does anyone know of any good companies that make tanks for a stock location mount.

Make sure you've got some air moving in that trailer - or in three years - you'll come back to a moldy pile of rust.

I run a fan in mine whenever I'm "storing" - and I run heat in it in the winter and leave the lights on (overhead fluorescents) for additional heat and air movement. :cheers:

Very cool.
Nice GTO too!

Well My car has been in the trailer for almost a year now and I have been slowly buying parts for the car. Now it's time to buy wheels. And I need some opinions. I know I'm going to use a 18x9 wheel and I'm thinking an all black wheel but what does everyone think. My budget for the wheels are about 3k.

It has been a great three years here in Germany and we have seen many things that my kids will never forget, but it's almost time to get back to the states ( we find out where we're heading next this coming week). But I'm excited to get back to the nova and get her finished.

I've got all new chrome for her.
