1974 chevy nova
a couple of weeks ago i ran into a deal that i just couldn't pass up. this one is to be our everyday driver and occasional cruiser. it's a 1974 chevy nova that i got from an estate. the gentleman that owned it bought the car new and it only has 48k miles on it. it's a basic car with the six cylinder engine and manual transmission. it should be a gas saver for running to the grocery. i haven't started on it yet so that will have to wait till i get some more time.
almost done with the sedan
while my nephew james was going hard on the coupe i was working hard on the sedan to get it repainted. while the last version of the car was sorta the retro look this time i wanted a more modern look to enhance the beautiful body lines of the car. i think i acheived the look i was after but i have a lot of finishing touches to do before it's ready to go.
1954 coupe
really i have too many hotrods to build all at once so i managed to convince my nephew to do the bodywork on the 54 coupe project. doing this freed up my time somewhat so i could concentrate on repainting the 54 sedan. he is getting along well on the coupe bodywork so there is a slight chance it will be on the road sometime this year.
wow has it been that long
i can'tbelieve it has been almost a year since i've updated this blog. i've either been real busy or real lazy or maybe some of both. i've had a lot going on these last few months but not all of it has been car related. we did manage to go to a few shows last year and did quite well considering the paint on the sedan had gotten in bad shape. that has been taken care of now but i'll get to that in another post.
