Have a few updates. It is coming along nicely.

With a lot of scotchbrite and sandpaper all of the rust finally came off!





Mounted the AAW fuse block and wiring harness







Did the same for the ECM





Gas shocks mounted in the trunk





Defrost vents in the dash (finally ready to weld back in the car)

Not many updates, but a little work done

Battery cover built and installed



Mounted the Nu-Relic power windows and Nu-Crank switches





I rolled the windows up and down a few times today. I know they have not been used much yet, but these Nu-Relic power windows are really smooth and work flawlessly. I recommend them to anyone looking for a power window upgrade.

Got the panels made for the trunk. Showing some shape now.





Modo Innovations electric trunk latch installed. Very easy install and great product



Fuel line and return. Still have some tweaking to do on them plus install line clamps









Power door locks finished



With a little cutting and welding, the stock seat frame fits. Turning the bench seat into bucket seats. If you look closely you can see the individual seats. The top of the seat is finished but my memory card filled up.

Finally got a little work done.

The mods to the rear seat are finished and it's mounted.



Mounted the radiator recovery can. You can also see the aluminum box. Electric fan relays are inside the box.



Shot of the front brake lines. You can also see the edge of the aluminum box.



Emergency brake installed



After months of decison making, the exhaust bezels are complete. I think they turned out good







Scary when your new wiring harness looks like this!!! It's all back together now.



Completed now!

nice job on the Nova looks great this is my favorite body style looks like your making great progress. also looks like you need to use some of troy trepainers secret metal sauce it is a paint safe oil to keep the bare metal from rusting! you can get it on his web site it works awesome saves alot of rework because sanding sucks! keep up the great work!

Thank you! I learned the hard way about surface rust! Everything that is welded in or to the car is not left uncoated anymore.

How much room did you give yourself for your exhaust? I've been thinking about doing something close to that on my falcon. I'm just concerned about the 3" exhaust getting too close to the tires. I don't need it causing issues on the big end of the strip!
