soooooo, the nova wagon has gone bye bye.


yesterday i traded it for an '85 C10. single cab/short bed.


im glad its gone too. i bought and held onto that car for all the wrong reasons. the was bad juju tied up with that car. i wanted a C10 from day one anyway.

Re: project Ms.Fitt


new door panels




good solid frame


not a bad start.


only rust on the truck. (drivers side rocker)


i also got a set of ceramic coated headers. .


i ****ing hate my garage.


plans: nothing concrete yet. possibly bagging? i dunno. i want 22's for sure. considering an 8 lug conversion.

first things first though: install all the new trim and interior piece, clean engine bay, shave firewall, install engine and get it drivable. just so i can tear it all apart again.


any input on.... anything really. (paint, wheels, whatnot) all appreciated.
