Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
Paul...good job! How about bringing that bad boy back east...we can have a grudge match. My 70 L78 TH400 against your 69 L78 TH400...both Plain Jane bench seat cars. No slicks...street tires only...Black vs. White Novas... Sammy will hold the flashlite [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]
Congrats on a great build! You will really enjoy the way those HD TH400 transmissions shift...it will adjust your neck! Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your Nova [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] wilma |

Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
Nice! Michigan sold car?

Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
Paul -- what paint system was used on your Nova? TAZ
|
Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
Yes, car was originally sold at Les Sanford Chevrolet in Dearborn, MI.
I have to ask my painter about the paint system. I'm not sure. Will get back to you. |
Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
SWEET.......My close friend in Upland had one growing up. Rubber floors, column shift, bench seat with 88 gears. It would upshift the column lever, 1-2.........

Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
----Paul,,,Small thing, but its "Les Stanford Chevrolet". Beautiful Nova by the way. Im a sucker for correctly done white cars!......Bill S
|
Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
Yes, Les Stanford. mistyped it... I got the NCRS report on the car...
TAZ - The paint is a Nason single stage acrylic with clear coat. Matched to Code 50 Dover White. I don't know my paints, but that's what my painter told me. |
Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
...Great job [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] |
Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
Paul -- thanks ... Nason is a product of DuPont and works well as indicated by your car.

Re: 1969 L78 Nova - almost done
