My Thanks to Cris (Gonzo) and JCG For building my Nova

[vdrivinmike]

My schedule does not permit much time for me to post (either here on Lat-G or that "other site":D .......

But, I am making time to issue a huge, public THANK YOU to Cris at JCG Restorations and Customs for building me a bad-ass Nova.

A lot of the build is captured in this Customer Cars thread:

But the bottom line is this....

Start:

Oh yeah, JCG also yanked out this:

and replaced with

and this:

I am doing interior and audio over the next month.

After that, the plan is probably going to include adding some color accents over the winter (?)

and driving the hell out of this car.

Congrats your Nova looks awesome. :thumbsup:

Trim removal, paint, wheels, stance and billet goodies turned this into a real sweet ride! Congrats!

[Ummgawa]

What a great looking car. Gotta love a Nova and I personally like white and off white cars. :thumbsup:

[rocketrod]

Awesome looking ride!!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice. The 68-72 Nova's just don't seem to get that much love for some reason. The drag racers love them due to the overhang in the rear, just don't see many in PT form. Looks great! Nice job by the boys at JCG.:thumbsup:

[MaxHarvard]

Looks good!

[NathanJohnson]

Car looks great, what size wheels and tires are they.

Congrats and enjoy that bad boy!:cheers:

Really sharp car, nice build.

Those Fikse wheels look especially right, on that car.

Ive seen this car in person at Cris' shop and it's definitely pretty sweet. The crew over at JCG did quite the job on it. Cris has a great eye for details...really never met someone with some much going on in his head. Naturally many of those details went into your car. Congrats on the sweet ride

I want to give a big thanks to Mike for giving JCG the privilege to work on his 72 Nova.. I had a great time working on this car.. It was a simple transformation of what some bolt on parts can do to enhance the performance of a car.. Driving this little Nova was a blast.. I drove it for two weeks as a parts chaser for the shop to shake it out! When Mike picked up the car I told him to have a note pad & pen to write down & report anything that he feels need to be corrected or fixed to suite his daily driving needs.. The car will be back in few weeks to get a visual inspection & check all drive train fasteners..

The LS6 conversion on this car has made me a firm believer that LS is the way to go.. I just drove my 68 Camaro with a 383.. Comparing apples & oranges .. My 68 is getting a LS1 here pretty soon..

Good to see that you guys liked this build.. Thanks for the props!

Mike- you still need to tell the story of when you picked up the Nova !
