Unfortunately we lost our close friend Phil (pchev66nova) last week. He was the owner of this '66 Nova. We will be finishing his car with the help of his son John in his memory.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Cheverie family, Phil will be sadly missed by all.
RIP my friend

Good to hear you and John are going to finish the car.

Hello Everyone,

This is Phil's son, John. I want to thank Peter for updating everyone about my dad. My father worked on this car everyday by himself, he didn't have all the cutting edge tools, or even an English Wheel, my dad spent days in his garage bending metal with a hammer to make the Nova one of a kind. Unfortunatly, a year ago he was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer that effects the Bile Duct and the surrounding areas. Even through many months of Chemo treaments my dad was still was in his garage working on this car, nothing stopped him. I will be finishing this car in my Dad's memory. We spent many years talking about the car and planning every detail. I'm grateful for that time, because now I am able to finish it exactly how he would want it. Even though my dad is not here with the help of friends like Peter and the guys at competition specialties a piece of him will remain with us. Some of my best memories of my dad are working on cars with him. I"m going to be selling my '87 Grand National (pic on first page of post) in order to finish the nova. My dad helped me a great deal working on the Grand National, now its my time to return the favor and help him with the Nova. If anyone is interested in the Grand National please let me or Peter know.

I am very sorry for your loss John. I think it is great that you have the memories of your dad and working on the car together. And that you are finishing it too.
Best of luck with the sale of the Grand National, if I hear of anyone looking I will send them your way.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Nova finished. Pete and the guys are a great crew, glad they are on board with you.

John,

Sorry to hear about your dad.

I just remember when I first saw your GN, Pete said that if I thought that was nice, wait until I see the Nova you and your dad were working on.

It will be nice to be able to finish it for him. Eventhough the GN is real nice, once the Nova is done, I'm sure the GN won't even compare... for many reasons that can't even be conveyed

Good luck with the sale of the GN and keep your head up.
