Love those ford racing fender covers. Goes perfect on a nova. But in all seriousness those rims with that paint job is superb. I live by ohare and am free most weekends. If you ever need some help I feel helping you would be a better experience then when I went and help sperg.

the old guy at my work has this lisle one and it works great for getting the studs from an aluminum block so I imagine it would work on an older style of engine

Not sure on the brand of toolbox. The flat one of the left is actually for a big rear end Milwaukee right angle drill. Dad couldn't snag the drill, but he got me the box. He got me the big one on the right, too.

Glad to see the Nova moving along. Its always awesome to see someone rebuild a four door. They get no love and the deserve the most . My hopeful project car is looking to be a four door G body Malibu. And dad toolboxes are better then free school toolboxes any day.

The tool carts are literally one of the best things HF sells. I can't rave about mine enough and after four years of heavy shop use it still is going strong

I'm talking about the black five drawer. But I've had friends with the red five drawer and they love it. Good quality and the locks are nice.

I hope to one day see this beauty in person. Soft eights are my favorite rim of all time. And that green with the black rim just really go well together.

Tank's never been out of the car or disconnected. I know for a fact there's some gas in it so it's not pulling from an empty tank. Feed hose in a container of gas is a good idea, though. drat. Wish I would have thought of that before I pulled the pump off. I'm trying to throw as little money as possible at this lump since it is technically temporary, but a new fuel pump setup is something I can swallow. If i can find an intake and 4bbl for super duper cheap, I'll pick it up. Summit's got a whole 4bbl kit (carb, intake, gaskets, etc.) but it's almost 500 bucks. If I'm dropping that sort of coin on engine parts, they're gonna be Gen III/IV.

Hey if you give me what your looking for I can go threw the drawer of carbs at work and get you a rebuild too. For a low price of meeting up to aquire it.

Kudos to you for replacing vapour barrier caulking instead of just doing what I do and try not to touch it while also running my arm through it and then swearing at it for days.

That's 100% what replacing a window motor is.

The nova is gonna look so much better green and black. My boss did the same thing with his sons firebird and the interior looks 100% better.

The color combination is looking great in that thing. Love the liberal use of paper purse clamps.
