Ironworks Project 62 Nova Drop-Top

[ironworks]

Funny you should say that. Eric sat right next to Tracy at the Lonestar steak house a few weeks ago and they had a very good conversation about hypothetically doing the interior in a nova convertible, some day. As the booze keep flowing the ideas got more and more out there. At the end I heard something about a 10 gallon fish tank with subwoofers. At that point Tracy said something about sponsorship and a dream come true.




JUNK....

Thanks Tracey, I kind of like that truck mod myself!!!


All,

That was a great dinner we had that night in Columbus...... Tracey explained all the factors that he considers when doing an interior. And that is why his fishtanks look the best!!!...... (just kidding). He did explain how he formulates his creations. By the sounds of it, Tracey can squeeze me in on September 23, 2010 at 8:46 a.m. If I miss that date/time, he'll move on to something else. I should have gone with delivering the car to Tracey on April 1st (April Fool's Day like Rodger did with John's 66 Nova).

This has been an awesome build for me so far! I have tried to figure out what my favorite fabricated/modified parts are so far. I have several.

1) The inner fenderwells. If you notice below, all of the bolts are hidden. You cannot see the fender bolts, the fenderwell bolts, or the radiator support bolts!



2) The headers. These look awesome to me. I can't wait to see them with the fenderwells!



3) The trunk mod. As you can see, we (Ironworks) sectioned the trunk lid so that the vertical portion is part of the car (more trunk pics to follow soon).





4) The IRS and rear six-speed. I just love this pic!




The more I think of this car, the more favorite things I have....... and there are many more mods/fabricated items to come!
