1970 Nova
 
Finally finished my Nova a couple months ago, actually got around to taking some decent pics today. Figured I'd post a summary of the build as well. I did all the work myself except for the paint.

Car was originally gonna be same color as ring brothers bail out mustang but I changed my mind after we painted the doors/trunk/bumpers/filler panel and cowl. Color looked great but I just liked silver better.

Rick D 08-01-2011 08:17 AM

Looks sweet, love the wheel. What brand are they? what are your plans for it, just street or some track time?

Rushforth Night Trains, gunmetal centers, brushed hoops. Mainly just street, hard to find anything around here for track time or find enough people that are interested in that. There is a place just a couple hours away called Hallett Motor Raceway that looks interesting. Check it out, here's their site...

Great job. That car came out nice. I love the silver. Looks awesome on that car.
Very nice!:thumbsup:

NvrDun71 08-02-2011 07:19 PM

Very Nice! The blacked out window trim looks great against the silver. What intake tube did you end up using? Looks OEM

Thanks for the pix of your wicked Nova. That car is killer and you are the man for doing the majority (if not all) of the work yourself.:hail:

DriverzInc 08-03-2011 10:48 AM

Car looks great dude! I dig the color combo, and everything matches real well from front to back. :thumbsup:

Snagged it off ebay. Not sure if its an oem piece or aftermarket. Worked great.

Here's a link to it. The seller still has them listed. Only $76!

Thanks. I must say I was very happy with the wheel/tire buying experience I had with you. I'm very happy with the wheels, especially for the price. We have seen our share of vendor bashing lately so just wanted to "spread the love". :D

Maybe my pics will help you sell a few more sets of night trains. They are a great looking wheel.

Thanks again.

Fantastic work....

Thanks! Oh too often, the good ones don't say anything, and all you ever read about is the "bad" ones, who didn't get a lug nut, or shipped late, but every now and again, its good to hear about the good experiences too! Car looks great, can't wait to get my Nova done, and rocking around with you guys.

Jon
