Looks good Rodger! Like what I see so far!! Will you be using a front bumper? How about turn signal location? What's the car going to end up looking like...does Rich have a rendering done yet? Paint color, trim, ect?

Keep up the great work!!

I made the 580 mile round trip to see Rodgers shop and the work completed over this past couple weeks. I have to say that every time I meet with Rodger I come away more impressed than before. The shop, equipment and the projects on the floor are beyond exceptional and speak for themselves.

A major portion of the shop is dedicated to fabrication while another portion is dedicated to clean work.

As far as my build, I let Rodger make all the decisions on the stance, tubs, valance and bumper work, I figure why tell an artist how to paint right?

Were deciding on the marker lights now... The car will have them we just
haven't decided what kind or where... At one point we were considering 69 style markers.

I'm thinking about a couple different colors, Rodger thinks a color similar to the military coating you see on Meziere water pumps with flat black hockey stripes.

Thanks again Rodger, you've given me that extra push I needed to complete this project.

Rich

Well I think Rich liked what he saw..... There were no Nova parts on his car. We kept his car pretty much separated from the Big nova gang on the other side of the shop. I will start a link on my website with some more pics of the mini tubs and many of the other aspects of the build as we progress. Rich informed me today we just need to order the wheels and get the decision over with. Apparently he is not sleeping to well right now. HEHE

The next few steps will be the exhaust, Procharger and intercooler, and ordering the wheels.

It was great hanging out with you this morning, This project should be pretty interesting in the next few weeks.

Rodger

You guys look like you do some killer work but I have to ask why no pics of finished cars on your site?? Gotta update the site would love to see some final product from the looks of the project section.

To be honest.... this site gave me all the inspiration and information as far as the components I wanted to use but I got overwhelmed with work and life and the project got put on hold.
The plan for the build changes daily so if anyone has any good ideas I'm all ears, I'm lost as far as paint color and theme.

My car is just a pinto compared to the other builds in Rodgers shop. I'm just glad he had time to help me get it finished.
