We had to figure out how we were going to get the Transaxle and diff out if they needed to be fixed so we used some Step Joints(Thanks Pauza!)

The guys wanted to get car off the jig and on the floor so they've been finish welding a lot of the joints on the frame. Forking it off the Jig!

What do you think?

Howdy John,
This has got to be in the top 5 nova projects EVER.
Outstanding kraftmanship. Outstanding design work.
Out & Out just a great project.
Paul
If not the best.. There is plenty of Novas out there but i dont think anyone has been done with this kind of craftmanship. Outstanding!
looks great john . when do we get it for paint and finish ? lol
Thanks Guys! We still have a lot of tweaking to do but it's nice to see it on the ground! Rodger is going to have an Open House this saturday at his shop so we should see the reaction from the media on this. Hopefully, they'll like it!
I can't wait until all the finish welding is doen and I can send it off to the powdercoater!
