~originalSubframe connectors are fully welded, also sandblaster the top of the floors yesterday and today. After a few more hours with the blow gun removing abrasive out of all those nooks and crannies I'll be laying down some more PPG dp90. I wished the trunk pan would have cleaned up better. If I could go back in time, I would have replaced it before the quadralink install. The floor pans cleaned up great, some pitting in the passenger side toe board but nothing bad.

Looking good Kevin! Are you planning on painting the outside of the car? I don't remember.

I won't say "never" but painting the body isn't in my current plans.

Laid down some primer tonight, I do have holes to fill and obviously the trans tunnel modification, but this will keep the rust at bay until that time comes.

I can't wait to see this car on the ground.

Wait I may have already said this before.

I think you said that before or maybe I say it daily. Can't wait to get behind the wheel but I am a ways off yet.

Default Progress is always good

Great progress. Looks better than when it went down the assembly line. This car is really turning out nicely. It's enjoyable watching your progress (maybe use that word too much) on it. Better than the edited TV shows that make this look easy. This is going to be a very nice little coupe with a cool patina.

Got the church boys racing headers in Wednesday. Over all I am happy but the fit isn't perfect, however the motor may not be in its final resting spot. Also, it may be angled since I don't have a trans crossmember in yet. The driver side appears to be good, the passenger side is hitting the frame rail slightly. For a 3rd of the dse headers I can certainly work wih these! I'll get some better pictures but here's what I have for now.

Man I love these Novas! Almost went this route instead of the Camaro. Keep up the progress!
