Way to go Chris. Car looks great and is in great hands! Pick your shops like you pick your friends and they'll always have your back.

That last 20% = 70% of the build

And what's up with that Torino guy posting pics of his parts in your thread? lol...

Hey Rob,
I was glad to find these guys to help make this car what I want! I have been lucky to have a good job for the funding and a very understanding wife!

The little things do add up fast and there is much you don't even think of! I am just glad I had access to those connectors in that pic at a very good discount!

Ron,
You are right on picking the shops as I have made some great new friends in this whole process!

I won't give that Torino guy any **** for posting pics of MY parts in my thread! I guess you just missed that pic??

Glad you guys like the car!

Chris

A few updates on Chris' car, We have been super busy at the shop lately and have made some great progress on the car. The car is finally ready for the bodywork stage. We have been fine tuning gaps all around the car. Getting the front sheet metal fitting perfectly. Which took a bit of work. Along with re-leading the roof/qtr seems, also doing some smoothing and tucking on the bumpers and any other Misc fab work that needed to be done. Time to make is pretty now!

Here is a link to some photos ive been taking along the way. Look for some of the bodywork stage coming up soon.

Looking good. I'm looking forward to getting down to your shop and helping Chris wiring it up.

We need a flickr account update for that 70 Nova build thread.
