Re: 63 4 door build up. NOVACATION
around Jan 2001 first thing done was a 4 lug to 5 lug conversion with parts i scored from the junkyard and a rearend i pulled back in 1994 from a nova i found abandoned in a rock quarry. degreasing it was the hardest part. i used paint thinner to make it soft, then lacquer thinner to break it loose. then degreaser after it all.

Re: 63 4 door build up. NOVACATION
Yep progress is slow on this one. i only worked on it on weekends that didn't have something else going on, life, honey do list, family, work, etc..... there's a tiny pic in my avatar of how it sits now. just needs to finish some wiring and done(for now)... there's a pic of it how it sits as of a couple months ago in Sams' build of Betty for a teaser....
Click here for the teaser i figure i put it on with all the pics i can find of it through the years. for prosperity sake... but then again it is still my project and i am still working on it ![]() once it's road worthy i'm gonna get some shots of it at various surf spots here on the island.

Re: 63 4 door build up. NOVACATION
You make it look so easy! haha.
Looking good man, and I can't wait for it to hit up some local spots. Also, whats the yellow stuff you're putting on the rust repairs? I'm intrigued... -Sam.

Re: 63 4 door build up. NOVACATION
thanks, i can't wait to take it around the island. just need to finish my 20V swap and then i can get finishing the wiring. soon.....
thanks again, it's been anything but easy. wait till i post the pics of the rust repair i did and body work, paint, etc. the yellow stuff is plain old Rustoleum. out here bare metal surface rusts in less than an hour. so after grinding and welding i had to put something on it. this was before they had the professional stuff. now that's the only thing i use. the flat black goes on fast, and dries nice. easy to take off too. i hate working on something, take a break come back and the salt in the air already starts attacking the metal. i live about a mile from the ocean but still it carries. you should see the aluminum intakes i have.
