1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard
The next challenge was fitting up and body working the fenders. I wanted to hang these on the car to fit and align and find any surprises before paint. So that meant putting the subframe and rad cradle onto the body.
I figured out a way to reverse the front side of the rotisserie and be able to hold up the car by the subframe. Doing the majority of this work alone did not make things easy. Believe me, I carried that subframe around like a horse collar several times. Loaded onto the rotisserie Slid under the car supported by the engine crane. My buddy Dereck did give me a hand bolting the subframe in... and voila first mock up of the NOS fenders
