The Nova's in Primer now!

#1 Post by John_Heard » Thu Mar 01, 2012 6:56 am

Went to visit the Nova yesterday, Robert's got the main shell in primer now! Can't believe it's going to be time to bring it home here soon.

Color should be within days, I'm gonna guess early next week at the latest.

Those brackets are for the dry sump tank.

She is starting to take shape and come back to life. Looks good john.
I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.

Anyone want to take a guess what it'll weigh when it comes back? Was 1733 when we took it over there.

I'll take a guess and not knowing every detail, I'm guessing 1550lbs.

Does the closet winner get to drive it one time?
