thanks for the props. You are correct about the Mustang plan - I had a 70 fastback in the 90s and wanted to get another one and do a 500-inch engine build with a Pro Stock block and drop in it, detuned down to around 800-900 HP for a more streetable setup. But I also always wanted a 66 or 67 Nova and since I didn't have one before and a ton of Chevy parts from the 914, it won out.
Good news is I spent all weekend (in near record heat, not good news) adding a 100sqft workshop/storage onto my garage and hope to finish up siding and painting it this weekend, so I can start moving stuff out of the garage and into it. Then I can get the Nova out of the trailer. Just need to do a little more of this to the garage wall

Halloween will mark exactly one year in the house and not touching the Nova once so I need to get my priorities straight
