Well today was a sad day, we had a pretty big loss in our family. lol
My brother sold his Nova and it was picked up today headed to New Mexico.
Its alright though we're gonna start building the 69 Chevelle next.

It is always tough letting the first born go. :) I guess one has to go, to make room for the other.

Where is this chevelle? Got any pictures?
Wait......... it isn't that yellow one in CA is it? :lol:

New Mexico is not a bad place...

And we could use a few more Novas

Since there is 1 less chevelle for a while. Plus when it comes back there will be less chevelle then there was when it left. :D

Yes
I started with a whole car, and you tossed most of it in the dumpster.

And to make the guys on the east coast cry, it was a non-rusty car too.

And while its not a 'Smokey' 7/8 scale Chevelle, it is a smaller Chevelle no-less, or less, depending on how you phrase it.

Cool Nova. Was there a little story on that in the Readers Cars section of Hot Rod Mag?

Very sad day, I couldn´t imagine me selling my Nova (wich is quite ugly next to your brother´s car). Hope the new owner knows how to keep it cool as it is.

Best of lucks with Chevelle!

we actually sold it to my friends Grandfather.
Yeah we are pretty siked to start on the Chevelle, its gonna be a long slow process but It will be better than the Nova when we are all done. We learned alot form the Nova thats for sure.
