Looking good, glad to see another nova. Especially a 73. I just picked up a 74, that I'm getting ready to start on. What kind of drop springs did you use?

Can you provide some info or a link on the aluminum half height bushings?
Thanks

What makes it a hatch back or are all the 73 Novas hatch back?

Looks great. I like how you swapped the earlier front one to the car. Was it a direct swap on?

hatchback is an option starting in 73. there are trunk models and hatchbacks. the car is shaped the same except it has a whole lid including the rear glass instead of just a trunk.. and the back seat folds down. the older front is pretty much a direct swap on.

Thanks for the education. I did a search before I asked and found pictures but none looked any different than a normal Nova. I'll have to keep my eyes open in the future in case I finally see one in person.
