Hey fellas...
First off I want to say I am very impressed with all of the cool creations of cars on this site; I love the G-machines. I have had a 1972 Nova for several years now, but the project never left the ground. I was young and in college so that meant I had $0.00 and that caused me to give up on the project. Anyways I'm out of college I have a great paying job and now I'm kinda muscle car hungry again. The car is virtually a complete loss of value, due in part to all of the rust. The car needs about every piece of sheet metal known to man to bring it back to life. I do not care if it takes me 5 years to get it done as long as I learn something from this project.
Back to the topic at hand....
If you live in the midwest you know what an old car has gone though over the course of its life. 30+ years of Salt, Sand, Gravel roads, pot holes, and maybe a few cornfields. This car has probably seen it all, and the one area of concern I have is the area that connects the subframe to the firewall and then follows the contour of the toeboards. I have looked all over and can't seem to find these, but however Aftermarket 67-69 Camaro firewalls already have them attached to the firewall. I would assume the Nova would be similar since they do "BASICALLY" share the same platform. Have any of you Nova guys ran across these? I would love to see more 68-72 Nova's mini-tub'd and down in the weeds too by the way...
Thanks a ton guys...
