Back for a new build
Well ive been away for awhile.. 1 wedding down and another in september but i did do a restoration on a 72 nova After my last 70 chevy was sold to fund the wedding. I just picked up a new project for 225 bucks. 72 lwb with factory air. Dosnt look like much but its a start. I will not start working on it til the end of the year so i have lots to think about. Here is the nova before and after and some truck pics

Re: Back for a new build
That looks like a great deal for $225. Are you planning on keeping it a longbed?
I'm digging the Nova too. Congratulations on the wedding's also. And yes, they sure can get pricey fast.

Re: Back for a new build
Can't go wrong with a 71 or 72. It may not run like a ball of fire, but it will stop safely!!!
