You'll find that once the aluminum trim has been polished... for maintenance it's really not that much trouble. The more you polish it, the less it needs polished..... that's just the nature of the aluminum grains and the way it comes up to gloss... it builds a bit if a "skin" so to speak. The car looks awesome.... very nice work, and I love the basic aproach to the interior. Not every car needs a full on custom leather wrap job.

Very nice work all the way around!

What did you do for suspension front and rear? LOVE the stance!! I have a 63 Nova SS that I want to lower as much as possible. What did you do for steering? What are your wheel and tire sizes?

Entire car is done very well, You are doing a fantastic job! I love these Novas!!

Guages are from 94 Camaro. See posts #24 to #27 on dash fab.

Have put a few miles on the car. Happy with insulation results. A/C does not have to run on high all the time. Sound level is way improved from before. Still have a nice comfortable level of exhaust sound, wouldn't want that all eliminated! To reduce low req. sound waves further would need some very dense material.

Since we are talking exhaust, here's a pic of the exhaust.

Previously a finned radiator style transmission cooler was installed in front of the radiator and A/C condensor.
Utilizing these finned coolers and mounting away from the radiator dropped 20° off the engine temp.

Here's a couple pics of the bench the bumper is on. Two 2x4's are attached to lengths of conduit that slide under the top.

Pulling out allows you to put a 4x8 sheet of plywood or whatever on the bench. The overlapping pull out supports act like saw horses to support the sheet you are cutting through. Attach casters to the legs so you can roll outside or wherever.

Don't set the saw too deep though. 1st time I used it I nic'd the conduit with the blade
