Thanks guys.
The first one is 5 years ago.
The one with blue hood is the new hood, when I dropped it off at the shop. I can get some more pics when I log on to my pc. On my phone right now.

She must have really liked your Nova then. I'm using these pics for motivation to get mine back on the road.

The only real rust on my car was at the tail lights. I patched this years ago on the original build. Well now I'm fixing what I didn't 6 years ago. Going with custom AVS 7 inch flush mount led tail lights. Jason at AVS hooked me up with a good deal and is always a good guy to deal with.

My SLOSH TUBZ made it in today!! I'm so stoked to get them installed. This will get me going on the burb again!! I also got the shop framed in so next week the exterior walls go up!!! I can't wait. My dads really good friend is an awesome body and paint guy. He has just moved back to Florida and needs work. I'm flying him up in 2 weeks to look at the burb and I'm sure he will start working on it. I hope it all works out.
More updates really soon

The wheels have changed and I'm thinking of doing a top bananna smoothie bumper in front. My concern is if I do the front roll pan I want to weld all the seams together. I never thought it would be a bi deal but look at XXL truck and what he had to do the repair.

What do you guys think.

Yup. Broke my own rule of one project at a time. Live and learn. Nova should be in paint this weekend so she will be done. Shop walls up this week hopefully. Then I can focus on my truck again.
