I finally found my first project car.:woot: It's a '66 ChevyII. It's a 4 door so I'll be watching Mark Bolen's project closely. The car has rust on the usual spots but for $1900 I can't be picky. It's has a straight 6 in it but I'm picking up a 4 bolt 350 and a TH350 for $700 from one of my drivers ( I work for UPS). I will post pics soon. i couldn't pick up the car today because we noticed one of the hubs on my brother-in-law's trailer needs to be replaced.

I see your Nova came with the optional 'Fred Flintstone' Braking System.

Good luck with your build. It will be an adventure.

I'm a first time welder, so I'll take and input you guys can give me. My camera is focusing very well ( i need a new one) so the close ups are not very clear.

One rookie mistake I made was using a grinder to take off the paint and made some spots too thin around the toe board area. I burned through the metal even on the lowest setting on the welder. What do you guys recommend? Should weld in a strip over the current weld?
