I'm hoping around Noon. My buddy has to work 1/2 day. Keep in touch on the cell.

We are back from Columbus !!!
It was not without a struggle. About a 100 miles from getting there Wednesday night, the tow vehicle had one of the most devastating blow-outs I've ever witnessed damaging the undercarriage and quarter panel badly. Then I went into the trailer to get the tools and smelled gas fumes before I even opened the door. It seems the filler neck on the Nova broke off during the ride and about 4 gallons splashed out on the trailer floor.
Once we got past all that (and a lot of JB weld) we were able to drive the Nova around (even in the rain on Friday) without incident.
Thanks to all those who stopped by !!
I have to thank Mark Lengal (bigtyme1) for all his help and during my "bad mood" on Thursday. I even managed to kick a can of brake clean clear across a parking lot and hit the only truck there (his).
Here are some pics from the show:

Steve,

It was great talking to you on Sunday! You built an awesome Nova. Hopefully others on this site get a chance to see it.
