Well got some of the hatchback done may finish tomorrow. The top of the lid had way to many bends for me to duplicate so I cut out the rusted area treated what was left and put in a full peace. I don't think it will make a bit of differance. Using lead to fill seals before seam sealerCharlie

Charlie, that tail light mod turned out perfectly. That's one of those treatments that will have folks saying something like "why didn't I think of that?" That's when you know you nailed it! I agree with your idea for the Camaro spoiler, will take some tweaking for the part that overhangs the quarters, but will be worth it.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Just about back together. That hatch is almost to much to handle by your self.Charlie

I mentioned I was thinking about a spoiler for the deck lid....Well I bought one, removed it from the box and laid it on the bed cover of my truck ...It was late so I just closed up and went in....This AM, was mens breakfast at 7 AM I opened the shop pulled out my truck and left...a couple hours later I'm looking for the spoiler can't find it anywhere and getting real upset with myself. I then remembered I left it on the back of the truck. I never turned on the lights in the shop to get the truck out. Well I spent well over an hour looking for it..I figured it would have fallen off in my driveway no such luck... so now I'm looking to buy another one. I think I'm getting dumber all the time.Charlie

The Nova is looking like one mean machine fish!!! Love seein the updates on how far you've gotten on this car. something about a Nova when theyre set up right they just look like they'll scare the bondo and plastic off a ricer at a stop light hehe. The bolt on lights look great i think i saw those on a local Nova the other day (@ dave
They do look like they were made for the car in all seriousness. great job welding up those panels and getting such a great fit! keep the pics coming

All one color, spoiler on, lights work, need to add choke, and line lock. Have to do alignment, before it goes on road.Charlie

Well done, Charlie!!!!! The car has a really great look to it, especially from the back. Going to have a lot of folks wondering just what it is they're following! Thinking the front suspension is going to drop a bit after a few miles of bouncing around on the streets??? Great stance, too!! Reminds me of the days when a lot of us had a "Saturday Night Special" hidden away in the garage that only came out at night when the money was right!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
