Not to mention I may have just sold my house and will have to deal with moving.....UGH, I did not think in this market we would sell it in one day!! The interim house we bought does have a detached garage, but it is not finished and no lift... Back to jack stands!!! The wife wants to all but gut the new place...like I don't have enough going on At this rate, Motorstate may just be a dream. The saga continues.......

I'll try and post some pics of the car when I get some free time LOL

Well,

It looks like all bets are off for Motorstate for me. House sold and I have to finish work at our other house so we can move into it. Gonna suck, I have to pack up and move the Nova and the 65 Corvette coupe project....and all associated parts plus multiple garages worth of tools and parts...ugh. I do hope to keep chewing away at the to do list on the Nova and get it to an event later this summer/fall. Will post some progress pics soon.

Boooo! Actually, I'm guessing its good that the house sold?

How about Ohio Musclecar Challenge at Pittsburgh Int'l Raceway? In August.

If it helps, you can drop the C2 and parts at my shop. The wife needs a few parts

Yeah, I guess it's a good thing....just happened quicker than planned. I'm probably looking more like a Sept completion...so maybe LS Fest or Goodguys Charlotte. In any case, I will sure hate missing Motorstate for the second year

And stop trying to steal my Vette parts!! LOL

Sorry you won't make Motorstate challenge but at least now you can take your time finishing the car.

While I have not had much...more accurately, no time to work on the Nova...my buddy Matt has managed to fabricate all of the brake and fuel stainless hard lines and make up all of the Earls soft lines and fittings for the fuel system and brakes. Let's just say when he was willing to take on the projects at his shop, I was like.... HECK YA!! His efforts have really saved me some time and basically just left the wiring and exhaust before firing this thing up. Maybe LS Fest will be possible????

Very nice work. I love the cell box.

The fittings on the regulator are crossed. The feed is the larger outer port. Learned that the hard way.
